Helping your to settle into nursery The Nursery is a new environment for your child who will need to adjust to new people, experiences and a change in routine. It may also be a first separation for you and your child. The settling in period is a very important part of a child’s education learning is an emotional experience and children need to be happy – and settled in order to learn. Our experienced team will try to do their best to help you both feel happy and secure. Please share with us anything which may affect your child on a particular day– for example a disturbed night or changes at home. We will let you know how your child has spent the day and their sleeping and eating patterns. If you are feeling anxious, remember you may phone us at any time to check how your child is - more than once a day is quite common at the very beginning, and we do not mind! It sometimes helps children to settle if you bring in something familiar to help them feel secure, for example a special blanket, favourite toy, photographs of family or even one of your own old T shirts (unwashed is best!) As well as being an exciting time it can also be quite stressful for both you and your child. All children are individuals and some children will settle in easily whilst others will take longer. We try to make the adjustment as gentle as possible by allowing you to settle your child at his / her own pace.
