Advice On Looking For The Best Childcare

25th June 2019 By Admin Leave a Comment

When choosing childcare for your child, it can be very daunting; however, don’t rush into anything. Take time to research the best nurseries in your area as each one will offer something different for your child.

A day nursery is a more popular form of childcare as it provides parents with the long hours of childcare. Opening hours can vary from nursery to nursery ranging from as early as 7.30 and closing at 6.30. Private day nurseries are open all year round which benefits working parents immensely, whereas nursery schools operate term time only. All early years settings follow a curriculum which will enable all children to flourish in development. Another factor to consider is the size of nursery, and large nurseries are not always a bad thing as there may be more facilities within the nursery.

First impressions can contribute to your decision, so when entering the nursery bear this in mind, however, it may be hard to get a true impression as the practitioners are made aware of your visit.
