I'm looking for some advice/opinions from others who are a bit further along the line. I am looking at nurseries for DC1 to start at 11 months. I have so far seen 1 tiny one (about 20 children) near my work and 1 huge one (100 children) near our home. I wasn't expecting to be so put off by the size of the large nursery, there were so many staff moving around, and it just felt much more hectic - even on a Friday in August.
As the larger one is near our home we had decided it would be much more convenient for us, but I'm worried a child could feel a bit lost and would be better in an environment with less children/staff that would be quieter and more personal. The tour also was not as "polished" as the smaller one, which may have contributed to my impression.
Any views/experiences appreciated! There are some other options locally that are smaller which I could look into as well, but I'm just wondering if there are actually some plus points to a larger nursery too?

large nurseries =more impersonal and less nurturing?
