Complaints about childcare and nurseries
Each type of childcare has its pros and cons, and you will need to work out what suits you and your family's needs best based on work hours, budgets, etc., but you should always expect a quality provision.
If you are unhappy with any aspect of the care, you should, in the first instance, speak to the setting manager; if you are unsatisfied with the answers and actions or have any other concerns, contact Ofsted on 0300 123 1231.
