Visit lots! Ask questions, you’ll get a vibe when you spend time in the room if it’s the right fit for you and your child!

Walk in without an appointment, to get a true sense of how visitors are greeted. Make a time to go back and have a tour with your child.

I did a tour and got a feel of the various centres available and put my name on the waiting list.

I googled first for which child care centers there were in our area and phoned them all whether they had places available or not. Then I made a tour and chose for the one which gave the best impression.

We spoke to family and friends with kids and visited a couple. We just knew when it felt ‘right’ Our sons been going for almost 2 years now and its perfect for us

Good advice! There really interesting comments on this!

go for tours and see which one feels the best, meet the carers.

I found it was best to make an appointment and have a look around the centre yourself then trust your gut.

have u had a look yet how did u go

The best way is to go and check them out for yourself, and trust your instincts !

head in for a visit

Make appointments with several and go for a look, you’ll get a feel for the one that is right for you and your child.

I hope you found a good child care centre.

It is always helpful if you know other Mums in the area that have had experience with centres there.

Good luck and I hope it all worked out for you in the end

Did you find a child care centre that you liked?

Once you pick a child care ask if you can trail it without paying the enrolment fee so you don’t waste money as well as time

I suggest talking to some other working mothers & also perhaps the library has some information. It’s also important to consider location, whether it best to put your child in a centre near yr work or home, there are a many in the cbd’s.

A lot of useful advice Hope things worked out well for you

Definitely visit the ones you’re interested in and have a good look around, talk to the carers and find out as much as you can about the centre. Take your child too so they can check it out.
