Settling In
A gentle start
Helping children settle into nursery is something we approach with great care and sensitivity. We understand that starting nursery can bring mixed emotions for both children and parents, and we genuinely empathise with any anxieties families may feel.
For many, it is the first time they have entrusted their child to someone else’s care, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Our experienced staff teams have successfully settled hundreds of children over the years. They understand that every child is unique and that no two settling journeys are the same. We usually recommend three settling in visits to gently introduce your child to their new environment, routines and key person. However, if a child or parent needs more time, we are always happy to create a bespoke settling programme tailored to individual needs.
We are with you all the way
Parents are welcome to call the nursery at any time during the day for reassurance or an update.
In addition, our Parent Lounge allows families to watch their child settle via CCTV in a calm and comfortable setting, offering extra peace of mind where needed.
We have extensive experience supporting children with separation anxiety and use a range of proven techniques to build confidence, security and trust, helping every child feel safe, valued and ready to thrive.
