A few good questions for your first school visit.

A school visit is your chance to look around, ask questions, and understand what everyday life could feel like for your child.

What does a usual day look like?

Ask about arrival, activity time, outdoor play, meals, rest, and departure. Find out how the routine changes for different learning stages and how a new child is introduced to it.

How do you help children settle in?

Discuss the first few days, separation at drop-off, and how the school communicates with families. Share what helps your child feel comfortable in a new place.

How will we stay in touch?

Ask how teachers share updates and who to contact with questions. Clarify how the school handles illness, emergencies, collection arrangements, and changes to the usual routine.

What should we confirm before joining?

Request current information about eligibility, available places, fees, school hours, meals, transport if offered, and what to bring. Ask for details in writing so you can review them at home.
