Settling Procedures

Starting nursery is a very important time for your child and it may take him/her a few days or weeks to get used to the new environment.  Please be prepared to collect your child at different times if they are finding it hard to settle. You will be given further information about settling procedures when you meet your child’s Key Person before the beginning of their Starting Term.

Usually children will stay for a shorter time on their first days, if your child settles quickly then the time will be extended so that your child stays for longer on their second or third day.  Some children can take a little longer to settle and need to stay for shorter sessions.  Your child’s Key Person will discuss this with you after each session.  If you are working and have limited child care we will do our best to settle your child as quickly as possible but please do be available for the first 5 days of nursery.

Home Visits

Your child’s key person will be in contact to arrange a home visit with you and your child. The home visit will be before your child starts nursery.  The home visit provides an ideal opportunity to share important information about both your child and nursery life, as well as answering any specific questions you may have.

Having your child’s Key Person visit your child at home helps your child feel secure with the Key Person and to settle more easily in Nursery.
