Much is said in the media nowadays about the costs of childcare, which is of course important, but most parents are concerned about choosing the kind of childcare that is best for their child. Parents need to feel that when they can leave their child or children in care they can do so with peace of mind knowing the child will be safe and happy until their return.
If you are looking for care for your child then you need to visit the nursery in advance and spend some time. Do give thought to the following:
