Settling in at nursery

We aim to support parents and carers to help their children settle quickly and easily at nursery by giving consideration to the individual needs and circumstances of each child and their families. You can find out more by reading our key person approach and settling in at nursery information sheets.

When your child starts nursery you will attend 2 stay and play session together with their key person (teacher). These sessions are excellent for helping your child feel comfortable in their new environment and you will have lots of opportunity to meet everyone and find out more about life at nursery. Once you have attend these sessions we can then plan for your child to start attending independently of you.
