When a child is allocated a nursery place we have a settling policy. Children attend for maximum of 1 hour on the first day and the parent/carer remains to reassure the child. The time in nursery is gradually extended. Parents/carers are requested to stay in the parent’s room initially until child is settled, familiar with staff in the room and happy enough for parent/ carer to leave. We require a current phone number (preferably a mobile number) to contact you quickly.
