Nursery

I work in a nursery and my daughter will be starting when I go back to work, she’ll be 13 months old x

My son started at 13 months old x

My LG started at 8 months and she’s now just turned 2 and she loves it! Took her a week to settle in at the beginning but now she runs in! She has friends who we do play dates with and the nursery staff feel like family ❤️

How did you go about choosing a nursery? What do you think are the most important things to look out for/ask? Thank you xx

For us it came down to mostly a gut feeling. We visited about 5 and instantly didn’t like some and loved others. The reason we chose the one we did was because of how happy and how much the staff knew about every single child there even if they weren’t in there age group they still knew what they’d eaten, played with etc gave us such confidence that they genuinely cared about every child. They don’t take on huge numbers so she’s not 1 in a group of 30 she is 1 of 8 so has more 1-1 time. They have thneed weeks every week with a key focus on a letter, colour, number and story theme which we loved. We have a parents evening twice a year where we get given there work folder and see all the work she’s done and where she’s excelling and where she struggles. She’s only just turned 2 but the level of effort the nursery put in to not only them having fun but also learning is what made us choose them ❤️

My son started nursery when I went back to work at 5/6m old x
