    What should I look for in a kindergarten?

    I can NOT believe I'm asking this already...

    Enrolments for kindergarten in 2015 (!) open next Friday in our local council, and I've been advised to get in early enrolling Amelia because the "best" kinders always fill up super fast around here. I already have some idea of which one I want her to go to, and which are our second and third choices, but we're going to go to the open day/night anyway to make sure. (As an aside - that'll be Thursday. Ianto's birthday. Watch me bawl my eyes out at the thought that he should be starting next year.... )

    So what should I be looking for and asking about? What's important and not so important in kindergarten? What should I be on the lookout for in terms of negative things, what should we be trying to avoid? It's been 11 years since I set foot in a kindergarten for Year 10 work experience, so it's all flown out of my head.

    I'm thinking of making a checklist of things we want or don't want. Good idea, or over the top?
