Choosing a nursery is one of the biggest decisions you will make as a parent.
That’s why we created The Parent’s Complete Guide to Choosing a Day Nursery: a practical, easy-to-read guide to help you understand what really matters when comparing nurseries, what questions to ask on a tour, and what signs to look for before making your decision.
What's Inside Our Guide
When you start visiting nurseries, it can be hard to know what to focus on. Every setting may look welcoming at first, but the differences often come down to the details: staff stability, communication, safeguarding, outdoor space, routines, qualifications and how settled the children seem.
Here’s what you’ll learn…
- What actually makes a good nursery (beyond the Ofsted rating)
- 10 questions worth asking on every tour — and what the answers tell you
- The legal staff-to-child ratios, explained simply
- What the EYFS is and why it matters for your child's development
- 7 red flags that should give you pause
