Settling In

 

When your child starts at A Bright Start Nursery Rumney Ltd , it is important for everyone concerned that they are happy and settle in as soon as possible. Some children feel comfortable straight away, whilst others take longer to get used to their new environment.

 

We want your child to feel safe and happy in your absence as they cannot play and learn successfully if they are anxious and unhappy. Our settling in procedure aims to help you and your child feel welcome, comfortable and involved at A Bright Start Nursery Rumney Ltd

 

We aim to create a partnership with you a parent/ carer to help your child to settle in the following way :

 

• By encoraging parent/ carers to visit 'A Bright Start Nursery Rumney Ltd' with their child weeks before admission is planned

 

• By ensuring that parents/carers are given plenty of information about all aspects of the nursery before their child starts.

 

 

• By making clear to families from the outset that they will be welcome and supported for as long as it takes to settle their child and subsequently during the child’s time at the nursery.

 

 

• By working with parents/carers to find a suitable way of gently easing their child into life at A Bright Start Nursery Rumney Ltd; for example, this might mean parents separating from their children for brief periods at first, gradually building up to longer absences.

 

 

• By establishing daily routines in the nursery; routines play a central role inchildren’s lives and it is through repetition and expectation of what will happen next that they increase in confidence. Children need to have security, as this will help them settle in and make friends.

 

 

• By stressing to parents/carers that they are welcome to visit to check on their child at any time. Our ultimate aim is to work with each parent/carer, in partnership, to ensure that they and their child settle happily into life at 'A Bright Start Nursery Rumney Ltd.
