Things to Look for When Choosing a Nursery

Careful consideration must be taken when selecting a proper nursery for little ones. There are several, important things to consider, so parents have peace of mind when choosing a place for their children.

Good Experience and Reviews

One of the first, most important things a parent should know about a nursery is that it is registered and regulated by Ofsted, with staff that is highly qualified. Childcare-focused academic and professional backgrounds are critical for a nursery’s administrators and support personnel. The right Mitcham Nursery is willing to answer parents’ questions about staff qualifications. In addition, nurseries with a rigorous recruitment process focus on excellence as a primary step in their program.

The Nursery Should Provide a Safe, Welcoming Atmosphere

A nursery must be a safe place with a welcoming environment and have a specific focus on development for each growth phase. Varieties of engaging programs are important. Academic goals must be individualised and progressive.

They must awaken and motivate intellectual stimulation, allow room for curiosity, exploration, imagination, and creativity – all of which help build foundations of solid, educational beginnings. There must be an atmosphere of nurturing support from well-trained professionals. Teachers and staff should be active listeners. Being heard by those caring for children should be a top priority. Inclusion is critical, vital to social connection and a sense of belonging.

Play Time, Nutritious Menu and Restful Sleep Should be Mandatory Timetable Activities

Time must be included for lively recess and creative, imaginative play. Meals and snacks should be nutrition-based and tasty; a well-rounded diet is essential to healthy growth. Good hygienic habits should also be encouraged; hand-washing after toileting, prior to eating. A nap break is crucial for young bodies, so vibrant energy can be calmed and then rejuvenated, so children will be ready for active involvement after waking.

Are Cultural Differences Acknowledged?

Part of a nursery’s environment of welcome and inclusion must be tolerance of cultural differences. Encouraging diversity must be openly expressed and sets the example for children to learn acceptance of others. A nursery can coordinate celebrations with culture-specific foods representing members of its community.

Ask About Costs & Additional Prices

Nursery services are necessary for many working parents, but costs must not put quality care for their children out of reach. Parents must feel comfortable about having an honest discussion with nursery providers about costs for services. They must also listen carefully and ask questions concerning those costs, so they understand exactly what they are responsible for paying.

A Good Nursery Informs and Supports the Community

Nurseries offering family and community support beyond their walls ensure they are integral parts of the communities they serve.
