In addition to pp's questions I've found the layout of the house to be very important. I had LO at a house where I could only see a hallway and it never felt right to me. I couldn't tell who was there, see other kids, or look around at pick up and drop off. I can see almost everything (expect nap rooms and the bathroom) from the front door at LO's current in home and I really appreciate that.

Additional questions:
-How will you handle the 3 month old with the other kids? Do you have experience with this age range/gap?
-What activities will you do with baby?
-Do you have any pets in the home?
-What involvement/interaction do other people in the house have with the kids? The access question above tells one thing but I found one husband and teenage son to be way too hands on for my comfort.
-Do you leave the house with the children? If so, where do you go?
-Have you ever had to drive the children anywhere? I signed a form saying one provider could drive LO in an emergency (with a carseat). Turns out we did not agree on what constitutes an emergency.

Clearly, I've had a negative experience but we've also been really happy with our current in home center for almost a year and a half. Good luck with your search!

So glad you posted this! We are just about to start looking!
