We understand that for parents/guardians on their journey searching for the right childcare service for their child/ren can be an emotional and difficult time in choosing the right one. Early Scholars Owner Manager , Suzanne Fleming would say to parents, “ as a mum of five children it can be quite stressful in choosing a childcare service for your family. My advice would be to choose a setting that you are feeling comfortable with, a setting that has taken the time to meet and speak with you, go through relevant policies, happy to answer all questions and will gladly arrange a second viewing and chat for flexibility with work commitments for their partners also to see the environment. It is a huge decision for every family and not necessary the decision your friends or family may recommend but what suits your family. I find some families may choose childcare because their a bigger name or chain setting, however that is not always the case where some families prefer the more homely environment with single ratio groups. You will know when you meet the staff and see the efforts in the setting to provide a happy fun environment.”
