At this age I would ask:

Has he been in care before? Why or why not? Why did you leave that provider (get basic background info if child had been in care).

If child has not been in care before, does he attend playgroups (get an idea of how much socialization this kids has had)

Does he nap? Let them know your napping policy.

Any behaviors you should be made aware of (watch the child to see behaviors for yourself and see how parents interact with him). Let them know your policies on behavior and your expectations. This is when I let them know that I do not tolerate hitting or pushing.

Any allergies?

Favourite foods? Favourite things to do/play with? This will give you an indication of developmental level and nutrition at home.
