The choice of nursery for the baby is always a matter of concern for parents, who want the best for their child. Therefore, before starting the search, parents must be clear about what we want, based on a series of indispensable requirements that, from now on, will have to be placed in order of priorities.
A good nursery or nursery school should be one that does not limit itself to "watching over" children, but provides them with a welcoming environment, in which trained professionals have a suitable basis for their development. The school must offer confidence to families and the little ones. If parents are satisfied with the choice, it will be easier for their children to accept and adapt well to the change.
We tell you what you should take into account when choosing a nursery for your baby.
It is advisable that the nursery is close to home family. The friends that your child makes in the nursery will also be his neighborhood friends. Parents should visit several nurseries and learn about the operation and organization of each of them.
For that, it is necessary to have some time to be there and observe the relationship of the staff, how they talk and behave among themselves and with the children. On the day of the visit, ask all the questions that occur to you and also, all the ones you think are necessary. Take the opportunity so that you have no doubts, if possible. All centers, both public and private, must comply with the regulations of the LOGSE (Law of General Organization of the Educational System), but although most comply with the regulations, it is convenient to visit the facilities and check that this is indeed the case.
The younger the children, the greater the attention they need. Make sure that the number of children per educator complies with current regulations. The fewer there are per class, the better the attention to them. According to the legal framework, the number of children per class is directly related to their age. Therefore, they can only be:
- In the case of children under 12 months, 8 children per class.
- If they are between one and two years old, 20 children per class.
- If they are between three and six years old, 25 children per class.
The space has to be spacious and exclusive, with independent access to the outside. For each child, the center must have a minimum of two square meters in the rooms. In the area corresponding to children under two years of age, the rest and hygiene areas must be differentiated. It is also necessary to have a multipurpose room. The dining room, for example.
It is not mandatory that there be a pediatrician, but it is convenient that they offer this medical service, which has a preventive function. If your child has any type of special educational need, the center must provide human resources and support materials determined by the corresponding educational administration.
There are periodic controls by the competent authorities to verify the perfect condition of the centers, which must comply with the ordinances that indicate the current legislation, and also have an appropriate space for the dining room and kitchen. Parents can visit the kitchen and ask questions about the menu, for example.
For every nine classrooms, with an area not less than 75 square meters, all nursery schools must have an outdoor playground, exclusively for the school.
Caregivers or educators who serve children between 0 and 3 years old must have, at least, a Kindergarten qualification, and those who attend children between 3 and 6 years old must be Early Childhood Education Teachers.
