Settling In Period

We believe that, where possible, having a gradual settling in period for each child is beneficial to the child, their parents / carers and to the nursery.

This enables everyone involved with the child to work together ensuring
a happy settling in to nursery life.

The first day should initially be limited to a 1-2 hour visit where the child, their parent / carer and the keyworker get to know each other and for the relevant forms to be filled in for the child's file.

The time spent is extended gradually depending on how the child is coping with the separation. Each child is different and some children take longer to settle than others.

The child will stay for lunch and then for their full hours as
soon as they are confident to be left by their
parent / carer.

We appreciate that this may be difficult,
especially for working parents. We will do
our best to settle each child as quickly as
possible, while providing a secure
environment.
