ok, i'd say that imo
Length of commitment - expect to be one month
Settling in - they should offer to let you leave him for about an hour free of charge on a couple of occasions, but should also be flexible to what you want to do
Structure of day - only thing that's important is that they are willing to work around the routine you have at home, and won't try to force T into a routine that suits them
Security - we have a door lock but if a parent doesn't pull the door shut it doesn't catch and can be opened, so while they tell you the security measures, make sure you keep your eyes open while you are there, and try to observe a 'busy' time so you can see what really happens when they have lots of people there at once
Playing outside - they have to offer outside space
How long have the staff worked with children - also a good mix of ages, those with/without own children, not just young girls straight from college
Update parents – how and how often
- should be daily on how he has been, nappy changes, what he has done
Key worker - not really an issue as he'll choose hiw own favourites anyway!
