A lot of you out there are really wondering what kind of educated questions you should be asking when choosing the right childcare centre for your child.

Here are some points or questions to ask a day nursery:
1. For each childcare that you visit be sure to bring a pad of paper and pencil to write down your notes, questions, feelings.
2. Dont base your thoughts about a childcare over a phone conversation. Give the day nursery a chance by visiting them and meeting those who work there.
3. Collect all information regarding policies for a center. Make sure you are aware of all rules, and regulations.
4. Rely on your gut feeling. If you feel that you would not be happy, chances are your relationship would not work out in the long run.
5. Do children look happy?
