Our baby is only five and a bit months old but it seems that where we are many of the local nursery schools require registration within the baby's first year for entry at two and a half or three. Madness I know!
Anyway, I have just started looking at these places and have been to one open day, with a couple of others arranged. But obviously our baby is so small it's hard to really think about in connection with him/his character etc as we don't really know what that is yet. So for those of you further on, perhaps with experience of more than one nursery/pre-school option with different children, what should I be looking for? what sort of variables make a difference in your opinion?
We are not at all set on private education in general, but I do think I'd like him to go to something more structured than the childminder at some point before he starts school properly, so that would mean either transferring to the nursery school part of a day nursery; or the nursery/pre-prep section of a school. We live in North London (NW3) and there are SO MANY options within 15 minutes walk of us that I need some way of deciding between them!
