The list, aimed at helping parents choose the right kind of childcare, encourages parents to visit nurseries, check equipment and facilities on offer, ask about safety and observe staff and children together. They are also advised to ensure the setting has at least one member of staff for every eight children aged three to five.
Settings should have a misbehaviour and homesickness policy ready to show parents, and parents are advised to ask staff about flexibility.
