My DD currently goes to one of these nurseries, I'm thinking of moving her to the other but as my first experience of nurseries, I don't really know if my expectations are realistic, so any advise would be really appreciated!
Nursery 1 - Small setting - 12 children max in the room, quite confined rooms that look 'well worn' and to be honest, a bit grubby. Activities that the children are currently interested in are out for playing with at any time, e.g. sandpits, pots and pans etc. Free access to the garden whenever they want. 4 week rotating meal plan with options for those with allergies (DD is dairy free). Only other rooms apart from the main group rooms are a very small sensory room (more like a cupboard!) and a soft play centre across the road.
Nursery 2 - larger setting, groups split up into smaller age ranges so more transitioning between rooms. Their own soft play and sensory rooms. Lots of open space for kids to play in, climbing frames indoors etc. Limited activities available, kids tend to do their own thing and just play with toys in the room. Meal plan limited for those with allergies, and access to the garden restricted to sunny days.
It's probably obvious which nursery DD currently goes to, but I'm just interested to know people's thoughts and how these might compare to others experiences? This is based on the toddler rooms.
