Hi. I'm currently pg with my first dc and due in Nov. I know im early in thinking about a Nursery but i want to be sure that i have a place for my child in the nursery of my choice, not what was left closer to the time. My problem is, i really don't know how to establish what distinguishes an excellent nursery from a fair/poor one.
I haven't made any enquires yet, but want to before i give birth. Can anyone suggest things i should be looking for / asking that would help indicate which is the best nursery. Once i go back to work (after about 1 year) i expect to need a place at least 3 days a week, for full days. Other than this - and i know this is niave, but i'm really not sure what i want from a nursery. So suggestions of things i should be asking myself would also be helpful.
Ive had a quick look of the ofsted website for their reviews but some reports date back as far as 2007. Overall the majority seem to provide 'good' care, with one or too being just 'satisfactory'. But none ive come across yet are 'outstanding'. Is 'good' good enough?
