The definitive guide to choosing a nursery

How can you really know what the right place is? Of course, you can go on your ‘gut instinct’ or a recommendation of friends or family. What might really help is to have an expert in the industry on hand to guide you through the process.

With 35 years’ experience in childcare and early years education, Shrewsbury Prepatoria founder, Jane Smalley, wrote what is probably the most comprehensive guide to nursery care ever written.  In Jane’s clear and concise style, the book provides a step-by-step account of how a high-quality setting should look and feel.

For Parents:

This ‘must-have’ guide will be invaluable to parents looking to choose nursery care for their child/ children or help them evaluate care already chosen. Jane’s book is the ‘expert in your pocket’ for choosing a nursery.  It tells you what to look for, what questions to ask and provides a handy checklist to help you throughout the process.  There are also some really helpful chapters on other types of child care and providing educational fun play at home.

For nursery-owners:

This book provides nursery owners with the tools and resources to assess current practice and make any changes necessary to raise the quality of care and education delivered in their setting.  There’s an abundance of self-assessment tables which not only guide you through the assessment process but also support the continuous professional development (CPD) of your staff.

With this book to guide you, you can’t fail to make the right decision for your child, either as a parent or nursery setting.
