It’s almost difficult to answer now I have one in nursery but I think just get a general feel for whether the staff and kids are happy when you’re walking round.
How long have they worked there? What qualifications do they have to have?

I’d probably ask about how they update you, do they send pictures, log all their milk/nappies/sleep.
Where do they sleep?
What is included in fees? (Nappies, meals, wipes, suncream and what brand?)
Can they store breastmilk (if expressing).
What’s their policy on sicknesses (you don’t want them sent home every other week for a cold! But equally want to know they take contagious diseases seriously)

And just see if generally things look safe, clean and well cared for.

You’ll get a gut feeling if it’s not the right one.
