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.
