Settling Your Child

We recommend that parents and carers arrange settling in sessions before your child starts nursery with us. The settling into nursery life is a very important process, both the parent and the child are given time to settle into the new environment. The number of settling in sessions varies to cater for your child’s individual needs, as obviously some children take longer to settle than others.

Key Person System

The nursery has a open door policy which enables parents and staff to share information and discuss any issues relating to the care of their child. We operate a Key Worker system where the key person co-ordinates information about the child’s individual needs and development, and shares this with the parents on a daily basis. We also hold a non-compulsory parents evening twice a year. Our Staff ensure parents are kept informed about how the day is planned in the different rooms and how the development of their child is monitored. We encourage parents/carers to contribute with ideas towards their child’s development. Daily reports are completed by their key worker until the age of 3 years.

Parental Involvement

It is important to us that we always try and make our setting welcoming for all parents and carers and their families and friends. We aim to develop strategies to communicate with all parents and carers and try to work in partnership with you to contribute and support your child’s development. It is also important to build up a good relationship with you as parents and that you feel more confident in sharing your ideas or concerns.
