What it is like to attend
Children arrive at the pre-school happy and ready to enter. They show their parents and carers where their belongings go and eagerly walk into the hall and wave goodbye. Children remain confident throughout the session and are keen to show off their skills. They hold a blanket and throw it into the air. They show visitors different ways they can catch it with their hands and on their fingers.
Children are happy. They smile frequently and have fun. Children engage for prolonged lengths of time. Children stand at a table set up with paint and brushes and work together to mix different colours. Two children giggle as they hold a brush together and make marks on paper. Children understand what is expected of them in terms of their behaviour. When necessary, children are reminded about the expectations. For example, when they run, they are asked to slow down and use
Children are supported to develop pride in what they achieve. Staff use 'wow'

Still missing for Woodborough Village Pre-School
- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £7.30 an hour still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
