We have been looking into this too. Get some visits booked in and a chat with them. You will find that you get a feeling from each place to have an idea if it’s right for you and your little one. Also make sure you check out the Ofsted ratings (just google Ofsted reports and the website will come up). Xxx
I’ve chosen nursery for my son, he’ll be going 4 full days a week come June. I preferred the idea of having multiple caregivers, cctv in the rooms, better safeguarding and training in my opinion rather than a childminder that is only one person trying to manage multiple kids. I also don’t want someone else to be driving or taking my son anywhere which I know a lot of childminders do so the choice was easy for me.
