Start with distance and hours: check opening and closing times against your commute, and ask about early drop-off and late collection. Ask to see the school's registration papers and confirm they are current. Visit in person and look at group sizes, outdoor space, toilets and where children sleep, and ask about staff qualifications. Ask what the fee covers, such as meals, nappies and holiday periods, and compare at least three schools before you decide.
