Hi everyone.
This is my first post in Toddler not sure im ready to be here yet as DD is only eleven months but is walking well!!! thought you ladies may be able to give me some advice!!!
Im going to visit a pre school tomorrow to start DD next October and was just after some advice on what to look for and any questions i should ask. This is the first one we are going to see. I have read the ofstead report which is great and have had aome good reccomendations from friends but im just not sure really what to expect.
Also what age did you or are you planning on your LO starting if you are planning on sending them to pre school? I wanted to start Grace when she is two as my mum will be looking after her when i go back to work next week and i would like her to have interaction with children her own age after spending the year with my mum. Do you think two is to young?
Thanks for your help

I would ask about the curriculum they cover, spend a bit of time there too so you can see how the assistants deal with the lo's and if the other kids are happy and content there. I would also ask about all the activities they cover and if they have visits out and if others come into the school - my lo at his private nursery has had talks from police, lifeboat, fire engines come in etc adn they get taken to the beach, woods, park, shops etc
I also fully believe in going with what feels right for you. if you're happy and content with teh nursery then lo will be!!
good luck x
