Every one so far that I’ve looked at they all wear outdoor shoes inside meaning the carpets and rugs are not clean ? I thought they would be outdoor shoes off at the door for children and staff and just clean indoor shoes inside ?

is it really that unusual ? It’s a deal breaker for me but I need to find one !!

To all the the rude people scoffing at the OP - How do you square it that in every environment where nurseries are better funded and in countries where early years are better funded they tend to adhere to these types of standards?
you seem to think they are all insane and/or have OCD.

its amazing to see the how strongly you believe your position is right and other people are weird. You would think you might have the humility to wonder why others operate differently and respect it..:

outdoor shoes off, slippers on or just in socks and appropriate footwear when outside (wellies if wet, etc)…👍🏼

I was looking for a nursery for my DS 13 years ago. The Montessori I visited in London used shoe covers. Then 4 years ago, when DD went to nursery in Hertfordshire, it was shoes and coats off at the entrance to the toddler room (so not the baby room) done by the parent. At pick up, they'd hand DD over and I'd put her shoes back on.
