I agree with Snacks on No.1 - the staff are the most important thing. When we toured I was happy to see the carers all talking happily to the kids and really engaging with them. We really got a good feeling about the carers in the baby room, especially the room leader, and when it came down to it that was the reason for our decision to put DS in there.

Other things I am not so happy about with our centre:

the baby room is 0-2, which is a very wide age range, and quite small. There is an outside play area, but if the weather is bad they're stuck inside in a very cramped space.

The food is not too crash hot. prepared on site, but pretty bog-standard stuff and lots of processed food, but I decided not to be too picky about that (particularly since we don't always eat too well at home either).

good luck
