Starting with Us

Starting nursery can be quite a daunting experience for young children. Some take to it like a duck to water, whilst others need help and time to get settled in. We want your child to look forward, and enjoy coming to the Nursery so we follow a new starter's system. This system gradually introduces your child to the Nursery environment so they start their education feeling happy and settled.

The new starter's system is as follows:

• A few weeks before their start date, children are invited to come and visit us along with their parent/carer for a session. You will stay with your child during this session.
• Once your child turns 18 months they can begin at the Nursery. There follows a settling in process where parents/carers are invited to stay with your child until both you and the Nursery staff are happy that your child is ready to be left. This can take anything from one session to a few weeks. Our main objective is to ensure that your child is happy and contented.
• Once your child is settled in the number of weekly sessions they attend can be increased (space permitting).
