You’re pregnant! The excitement sets in.
Your thoughts swing from wall colours to nappies. Nine months seem like a lifetime to wait for the arrival of your little one, but before you know it, your baby is being placed in your arms and that’s when the real fun begins. Endless feeds, the first smile, sleepless nights, the first step… the rollercoaster of parenthood is filled with beautiful, rewarding and challenging moments.
One of the most challenging decisions you may face in the early years is choosing a nursery for your child. The options are endless, and everyone has an opinion. Selecting the right learning environment for your child may seem like a daunting task, so give yourself time and start the process early on.
Before you ask the guru that’s Google for assistance, take a moment to set the scene in your mind: imagine what the feel of the nursery will be like, how teachers will interact with your child and how you, as a parent, will fit into the picture. Once you have this framework in place, it’s time to begin your search!
