Your Child's First Day At Nursery

We pride ourselves on making all families and their children feel as comfortable, happy and supported as we possibly can. We want our children to have the best possible start in life, with high quality care and learning.

Before your child starts our nursery, we arrange settling in sessions for both the child and the parent/carers to meet the staff team, talk about their child and fill in their All about Me in their Learning Journey. The settling in sessions provide you and your child with an insight as to what happens throughout the day at nursery.

Session 1: Parent/Carer meets staff and discuss child to key person, Parent stays with child for 1 hour

Session 2: Parent/Carer can leave their child in the nursery setting for 1 hour

Session 3: Parent/Carer can leave their child in the nursery setting for 1 hour

However if you feel your child may need more settling in sessions we will arrange for as many until you feel happy and relaxed for your child to start.

When your child starts our nursery, we ask you to provide your child with a few things;

Nappies/wipes

Cream (If Needed)

Spare Clothes

Sun Hat

Suncream

Wellies

Coat

Dummy (If Needed)

Formula milk (if needed)

Family Photographs for Learning Journey Book

We use family photographs in the childrens's learning journeys and on our family boards for the children to use as a comfort and to support their settling in period. This is also good for Personal,Social and Emoional Development and Undersdtanding Of bThe World.
