My husband and I have been looking at nurseries for my baby girl for when I go back to work. She will be a year old then.
We have viewed a local nursery which I like- with one hesitation. Most of its outdoor space is covered so when the children go outside they will not actually be experiencing the elements- whether that be rain, wind or sunshine. There is a small uncovered area where they would be properly “outside “.
This is putting me off a bit, although I don’t know if I’m being a bit silly because I like everything else about the nursery. There are other nurseries in the area with better outside space but they are a bit further away. - we’d have to drive to them, whereas the one with the covered outside space is only a 5 minute walk from our house.
My husband wants to go with the closest nursery as it will be much easier to manage drop offs and pick ups when we are both commuting- which we will be doing once the COVID situation has calmed down. The other nurseries would be about a 15 minute drive away, maybe a bit longer if traffic is bad.
Am I being pedantic? Just interested to get other people’s opinions on how important they think good outdoor space is and is it odd that it is mostly covered?
Thanks!
