The definitive guide to choosing a nursery
Deciding to use a nursery or return to work is probably one of the hardest decisions a parent will ever make. You will want to make sure that the nursery you choose really does have your child’s best interest at heart.
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.
