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 child care and early years’ education, Jane Smalley has published 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 what a high quality setting should look like.

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’s also some really helpful chapters on other types of child care and providing educational fun play at home.
