Nursery questions

Room routine (I then tried to make meal times match so it wasn’t a massive shock when she started). What do they do in an accident (do they ring you when it happens or just tell you at the end of the day - depending on seriousness) What do they supply/what do you need to supply Do they cook food onsite (if meals are supplied - look at the menus Depends what you need I asked if they had an earlier drop off option (we could pay £5 to drop off between 7:30-8 rather than 8) Some use apps for regular updates through out the day - ask how often they update it - my sisters nursery for my nephew wasn’t that frequently where as ours is updated throughout the day usually around meal times.

Ask if they send updates throughout the day. If you have a baby or toddler how often and how much do they feed baby and how often do they change diapers. If your child does get hurt how soon would you find out. How much help do they have in case someone needs a break while watching the kids. Cause you hear stories about babies being shaken or hurt because a worker is tired or frustrated so what do they do to eliminate this situation from happening? This is a question for you not the place you taking your child. Is there a way to have a camera on your child somehow so you can check in on your child once in awhile? If not that’s fine but hopefully they send u updates through out the day. Also what’s their routines like for food and for play and if they go outside how many teachers or workers are out there watching all the kids at a time? Do they have a fence around the place your child will be playing so your child don’t run off without being seen when and if they are old enough?

Also watch your child for signs of distress or not wanting to go back to the nursery. Some may be separation anxiety from leaving you but look for red flags because some nurseries are very good and others could be allowing your kid to get hurt or could be hurting your kid. Not trying to scare you but preparing you. Just be careful. Maybe this nursery is very good but you never know. Good luck momma

Following because I’d have no idea what to ask either!

Daily routine, if meals are provided or if you have to bring your own food, if meals are provided, are you able to still bring certain for because of dietary restrictions/preferences, how they store BM/Formula and can you bring a large supply of frozen BM, student to teacher ratio and what happens if there are too many kids and not enough teachers, outside time/walks, are diapers/wipes provided or do you need to bring them

How key worker is decided. What types of play / learning Is there a daily routine How do they deal with discipline What is provided How are you kept informed How often are nappies changed What you need to provide Safe guarding Will they follow your routine for sleep If your baby is on formula how will they prepare it

Oh wow thank you everyone, this is really helpful I didn’t even think about them giving her milk. I don’t even like thinking of her being a one year old and what she will be like by then 😅
