Hi everyone,
My son is 14 months and has been with a childminder one day a week and my parents two days a week since October while I finish my degree.
My childminder has decided she can no longer care for him for one day (semi retiring) and given me no notice about this, we had a fairly informal arrangement, no formal contract etc although she is a registered childminder.
My parents are happy to take him for the extra day in the short term, however I feel that this is far too much to ask of them, particularly as my Mum has a broken arm at the moment but I have no other choice than to accept this but I want it to be for as little time as possible.
I want to find my son a nursery place as I feel his is old enough now and this will be better for him than a childminder, however I have no experience of looking for a nursery, don't know what to expect in terms of waiting lists etc or know how to find a quality one. Can anyone help me.
My main questions are:
How can you judge the quality of a nursery?
What should I be looking for?
Are there any warning signs that mean I should steer clear?
How long will I be waiting for a place?
Any other advice or reccomendations, I'm in the LS6 area of Leeds!
Thanks
