meet with staff
Visiting the nursery will give you the opportunity to meet the staff who will be caring for your child and ask them any questions you may have about the facilities or regulations. You will be entrusting your child’s care to these people so it is important that they are friendly, competent and willing to answer questions. You’ll also want to check that the nursery is organized and running well, so ask if you can meet other staff, such as managers and administrators. You can then ask questions about practical aspects like paying bills.
talk to parents
If you can, try to talk to other parents if they will be nearby when you visit, or ask the nursery ahead of time if they can arrange for an existing parent to meet with you. This way, you can get first-hand feedback on how the nursery is caring for your child and ask questions you might not be comfortable asking staff. It’s also an opportunity to make connections and schedule potential match dates.
observe children
Attending a Nursery Open House will give you the opportunity to observe the children there and see how happy and settled they are. Of course, every child is different and not all children will be content all the time, but observing their daily activities will give you an idea of how well they are being cared for and what they are up to when they get out of bed.
Refer your child to a nursery
If you can, take your kids to daycare so they can get a feel for it and give you important feedback. Observe their interest and participation in the staff, other children and the activities offered, then ask them how they felt while there. Can you see them blending in, making friends, having fun and learning?
As you can see, there are many benefits to attending a nursery open day and it is an important part of making the right decision for you and your child.
