We recognise and understand the anxieties for both parents and children when starting at nursery. Some children will settle in on their first visit and others will take a little longer to get used to a new environment. To support you and your child when settling, the nursery manager will contact you before your child’s start date to arrange a convenient time for the first settling in session. The number of settling in sessions will then be discussed and agreed with you during your first visit. During the settling in sessions, your child’s key person will discuss with you your child’s needs, likes/dislikes, favourite foods, sleep patterns, routines, etc. This information will enable us to cater for your child’s individual needs and assist in the settling in process. We will also discuss with you our documented policies and procedures and answer any questions that you may have.
