Got an offer from a normal popular nursery (A), generally good all round - manager and supervisor both fantasic. However two visits to the nursery, my experience of the staff are not so good. First visit while ds was 8 wk me v. emotional. Two staff just sat there chat leave babies play on their own (by that time I respond to any tiny grin from ds). Recent visit ds is four months. Things were okay but one of the staff who chatted last time had a boy on his lap who had been cry, the staff had the most miserable face and just look in the void. I simply don't like him. This nursery opens 8-6 all year round.
We also got an offer from a private school nursery (B), the price is a LOT higher, and they only open 9-3, plus they have many holidays...
The private nursery offers parents work on site so during the settling period that gives me a lot confident. The staffs there look like they like children (I could be decived for only one visit), the setting is in a victorian house in a nice part of the city with big garden, etc, etc.
We probablly can't affort send ds for five days and I don't feel work part time for 3 year old is an option.
I still want nursery B. But feel unjustified. Am I crazy?
