When you look around, just look whether the nursery nurses are playing directly with the children or whether they're just supervising them.

Re: going to visit a few nurseries this coming week
 

but that they are not doing it for them... i have seen nursery nurses holding childrens hands while they are painting to get the results they want...... i let em do what ever they want ... more fun that way!! usually come home with paint all over me! children have to learn for themselves too.....

oh, if their are any students there it might be wirth chatting to them and asking their opinion.... they get to see things they shouldnt and they are not on the pay roll!!

Re: going to visit a few nurseries this coming week
 

thanks for all the info on this thread...its very much appreciated..really it is.

Re: going to visit a few nurseries this coming week
 

I can understand your concern. Your baby is very young and you just want to know that he is in good care, don't you?

I think that you will know when you walk into the nursery which one is for you. That's what happened to me.

Good luck with your search. Let us know how you get on. :)

have you thought about a childminder, they are also ofsted inspected and can be as good as nurseries....

Re: going to visit a few nurseries this coming week
 

the other half doesnt like the idea of someone else taking the role of mum...but is happy for them to go to daycare...

Re: going to visit a few nurseries this coming week
 

i can unserstand that... i worked as a childminder before qualifying and it depends what you want as a parent....

Re: going to visit a few nurseries this coming week
 

so what if they say they dont have a key worker for the little one ?
and they do feed every 4 hours..and they havent had a fire inspection for 3 years..and they dont follow home routine... and they do use a microwave to heat food..just for asking sakes...

Re: going to visit a few nurseries this coming week
 

Look elsewhere. :)

Re: going to visit a few nurseries this coming week
 

I gathered that but I was hoping someone would explain how long for the fire thing...not microwave cos..etc..:)

Re: going to visit a few nurseries this coming week
 

they have to have key workers... they will be responsible for a group of children, they are the ones that know everything about your child.. alergies, health problems etc so that only one person has to remember.. they will also assess your hild on a regular basis to check for any developmental problems... the nursery are employed by you to care for you child in the way thay you want.. if they dont do it how you want then they are not very good and i wouldnt recommend sending your child to them...... any thing that breaches health an safety, such as the fire inspection is illegal and they should be reported to the local education authority and ofsted...

Re: going to visit a few nurseries this coming week
 

also ask them what their fire procedure is........
