“The Essential Guide to Choosing your Child’s Nursery School” has been a great guide in reassuring me that I was asking all the right questions when we were looking for a place for Suzie.

I felt in my guts that I was unhappy with my choice of nursery and reading Bebe’s guide confirmed it. The book gave me suggestions about questions to ask and when I didn’t get satisfactory answers and when I realized that they were reluctant to give me information about how my child was getting on, I changed her nursery. Bebe gave me the confidence to know what to ask and to make the changes we needed to make.
