01
Agree who will attend
Ask whether both parents or another adult important to the child can attend, and whether bringing your child is appropriate. Confirm the approximate length and who will answer your questions. If adults in your family have different priorities, combine them into one list before the meeting. This keeps the conversation clear and means nobody has to rely on memory alone.
02
Ask about an ordinary day
Ask how arrival, play, activities, meals, rest and collection are organised without assuming every centre works in the same way. Find out who supports the group, how changes during the day are handled and how parents receive information. Concrete examples are easier to understand than broad statements. Notice, too, whether the team responds openly when you ask for clarification.
03
Clarify arrangements and costs
Ask what schedule is available, how a start date is discussed and what comes after the visit. Request the price, included services and any cost confirmed separately. Find out which channel to use for follow-up questions and who confirms arrangements. If a detail is not settled yet, write it down as unknown rather than turning it into an assumption.

Checking items is optional. This checklist does not send data to the centre.
