Your starting point
Start with the learner, then consider the school and the home. Ask institutions directly about availability, admission, language and support.
Nursery and preschool choices should reflect the child's age, care needs and the family's daily routine. Use the steps below to organise a decision, not to infer an official approval, a guaranteed price or a universal deadline.
Work through the decision
Confirm the offer
Ask about eligible ages, hours, holidays, meals and settling-in arrangements.
Check availability
Discuss waiting lists and the process for accepting or reserving a place.
Compare total cost
Include registration, meals, transport and any additional services rather than the base fee alone.
Adapt this to your circumstances
Keep citizenship, current residence, household needs and the location of the home separate in your notes. Ask the responsible authority, institution or qualified professional to confirm any requirement that affects your situation. A checklist used by another household may not apply to yours.
