Hi and welcome to Silkysteps, I'm not sure what the unit looks at specifically sorry. This is a personal view and would consider: space, interest, money, finding out what everyone wants and knowing what's required for health & safety.

How is the room already laid out: does it provide areas/zones/flooring for messy/soft play, somewhere for parents to meet, somewhere for information to be displayed ..
What resources are already provided

What are the requirements;
For hand washing & toileting facilities

To evaluate if the environment is positive you could ask if the setting is welcoming, approachable and where possible are everyone's cultures reflected in the resources.
