Starting nursery/Settling in 
On the first day your child will be at nursery for no more than 1 hour. Your child’s keyworker will work together with you to ensure your child settles in to nursery at a pace that is comfortable for him/her and for you. Every child is different therefore settling in time will differ from child to child. However in all cases the settling in process is a gradual one to allow children to get to know the staff, and to feel safe and secure in their new surroundings.
Dropping off and collecting your child
It is expected that a responsible adult will bring and collect your child to and from nursey. In the interests of your child’s safety you must tell a member of staff if he/she is to be collected by someone not already known to the nursery. This will avoid situations where the child cannot be allowed to leave with an adult who is a stranger to the staff.
Each playroom has a signing in register. Please make sure your child is always signed in and out by the adult bringing and collecting them.
Attendance
Regular attendance is very important for children’s progress and continuity. If your child is unable to attend nursery for any reason you should inform us of this either in person or by phone or email. It is our policy to contact parents when a child is absent and we have not been notified as to the reason why. A call may be made to emergency contacts if we are unable to contact a parent.
