Purpose built building with –

  Settling in

  The settling in period is a very important time in Nursery for your child.  We will try hard to make the transfer from home to Nursery a happy experience.  Parents are welcome to bring their child into the room and spend as much time as necessary settling their child.  Each child will be allocated a Key Worker within their first week who will be responsible for building a supportive relationship with your child and recording their achievements.

  Bringing and collecting:

• All children must be accompanied to and from school by a responsible adult. 
• It is important that childnre are dropped off and collected on time as they will become anxious if you are late.
• Please inform us in advance if there will be someone new collecting your child.
