Our Settling-In Process

As part of our introduction to nursery life, we have developed a carefully curated and personalised settling-in structure to ensure every child feels safe, happy, and supported during their transition.

1. Nursery Visit: Once a place becomes available, parents and their child are invited to visit the nursery, explore the environment, and meet our team.

2. Home Visit: After securing a place through payment of the deposit and registration fee, a key teacher is allocated to your child. This teacher will visit your home to build a bond with both the child and their parents or guardians, and to gain a deeper understanding of your child’s routines and interests.

3. Settling-In Sessions:

   • First Session: A 35–45 minute familiarisation session within the nursery environment, with a parent or guardian present.

   • Second Session: A slightly longer session of up to one hour, allowing the child to explore further with parental support.

   • Third Session: If the child feels comfortable, we encourage parents to leave their child for a short period, gradually helping them settle independently.

This structured approach ensures that each child’s introduction to nursery is positive, smooth, and tailored to their individual needs, fostering confidence, security, and enjoyment from the very first day.
