Hi alll
I have been looking at nurseries for my DD to start in the summer, she will be almost 1 by the time she starts, I've been to view 2 so far:
Nursery 1: 2 seconds from my house, big open plan purpose built place, outdoor area lots of toys, bouncers for babies etc, quite relaxed in terms of routine could go outside whenever they wanted nap whenever etc (they don't actually have any places left at the one I went to visit I just don't really know about nurseries so using as an example) one thing they did do which I really liked and kind of had my heart set on was a app which you could download and they'd upload pictures and progress through the day, progress reports at the end of the day and the babies pick their key worker based on who they warm to most... obviously no spaces but there is one a bit of a drive away which we could try (about 20 mins maybe)
Nursery 2: in a very large old house so smaller closed off rooms, outside area, not as many toys and walkers etc and a lot more basic, a bit more routine based due to the size so can only play outside at certain times, to check up id have to call, I forgot to ask if they do progress reports at the end of the day, babies are allocated to the people who have least etc... this is 10/15 minutes drive and on route to work
So basically, which kind of environment do you prefer? Is it unusual for the app thing or quite common now? What things do your nursery do which you like/don't like? What would you choose?
Sorry for such a long post about this I just want to make the right decision as I don't want to disturb dds routine once she's settled and happy
