Finding a nursery for your little one can be overwhelming and time consuming! I have connected with experienced local parents to hear their views :)
Top three must do's from parents with nursery experience:
Visit as many nurseries as you can and ask as many questions as you think of, it will help you best compare them.
See what the opening hours are and if you can do an early drop off or later pick up. Think about the location of the nursery and your commute to home and/or work.
Talk to local parents with kids who recently went there or currently going there!
