We spent a bit of time choosing a daycare centre. In the end we chose ABC mainly because my neice had been there since she was 8months and is now 4 and in preschool but in that time not one staff member has left and my neice adores each and every one of them.

We started Gemma off gently by me staying with her for an hour and then we went home, then it was 2 hours then we went home, then she was on her own for a couple of hours. She settled in well and now LOVES daycare. When I arrive to drop her off she wants to go to the carers and to me thats really important. She cudles into them and waves bye bye to me. At ABC they either pat or cuddle them to sleel like Ambah has said.

Remember your paying them and trusting them with your child so you are more than entitled to ask as many questions or visit as often as you want. All ABC centres encourage you to drop in through the day if you want, no phone call in advance needed.
