Pre-school advice for parents

[gef918]

Hi. I recommended to parents that they should start looking into pre-schools for their lo. What advice would you give them about what to look for in a pre-school?

I always say to them don't make a quick decision, take your time and look around lots of places. Ask people who's kids go there what it's like, or even people who've worked there.
I helped out at my dds school, just reading and supervising for a few days so I could get a feel for it and I'm happy I chose it
I'd tell them to ask what they'd ask anywhere, about the staff, sickness policies, settling in procedure, how they handle problems like bullying, what the kids will do roughly in a day, security measures. Ask if they have a Welcome Pack too as that will probably tell them a lot xx
