As the title suggests, we have decided the time is approaching for Erin to spread her little wings one morning a week and make some buddies.

We have spent the morning enquiring at four nurseries. One was full, and two others have a minimum session requirement….a minimum session requirement?! The nurseries seem to only be catering for working parents and not parents (like myself) who require some social stimulation for their child and a child-free morning to get things done.

The fourth one we visited was more successful, we’re allowed to do ‘just one morning’ and there should be places available in the summer. We have a meeting at 10.30am tomorrow.

Questions I Plan To Ask (Because all good parents have planned questions!)

1. Ask about daily routine.

2. Ask about discipline procedures.

3. Find out how often they go outside, for walks, on excursions.

4. Ask about staff, age, sex (I think male staff are a real bonus), qualifications and experience.

5. Ask about snack provisions (brochure says healthy, but I’d like to know more).
