Prepare before the visit

Write down what matters for your family: language, travel, daily timing and support needs. Check the current school identity and registration information using official education sources. Historical directories can contain old campus names and contact details.

Ask about an ordinary day

An open day may look different from a normal session. Ask the setting to describe arrival, transitions, meals, outdoor time and collection. Request current written details about fees and arrangements directly from the provider.

Compare your notes

Use the same questions at each setting and leave unanswered fields blank.

  • How do staff share observations with families?
  • How are language differences supported?
  • What current arrangements apply to this campus?
  • Who answers follow-up questions?
