Nurseries to avoid

I am writing this in utter disappointment as I watch my children play. I am also due to have another child in February. I will not be sending them to my local nursery, because I believe there is poor management and a lack of staff. My friends, who still take their children to the nursery, and Ihave raised our concerns with the staff on many occasions, but it is not taken on board. I felt that I had no choice but to remove my children from the nursery.

Is this a sign of how bad nurseries have got at the moment? To highlight a few things with this particular nursery:

* Staff numbers are below Ofsted ratios in the morning and evening.

* Staff are being deployed from other nurseries, but for only half the length of time that they should be.
