First visit If you would like to come and look around our nursery we would more than happy to show you what we have to offer. If you would be interested in having a look around please make an appointment with our Manager on 01392 927892. Safeguarding is of paramount importance so you will be asked to bring some identification with you and we will ask that you don’t use mobile phones around the children.
During the visit we encourage you to have a good look around the nursery and ask any questions you may have. We understand that this is a big decision and we want you to feel completely comfortable with the nursery you decide to choose. While you are at the nursery we would also be more than happy to check our availability and we will give you all the forms you need in order to register your child with us.
Settle visits Great! You’ve decided our nursery is the one for your child! We are thrilled you have chosen us and we hope your child will be very happy here. Before your child starts we would like to offer some complimentary settle visits to help the induction process. During this time we will get to know you and your child a little better and the settle visits also give you the chance to get to know the team.
Correspondence Once your child has started nursery with us we will strive to keep you up to date with their progress using: informal chats on drop off and collection; daily books; observations and assessments; and parent’s evenings. We also send out a monthly newsletter to keep you up to date with the nursery as a whole and send out a survey every six months so we can get your views on how we are doing.
Learning and development We track your child’s learning and development whilst at nursery using our Interactive Learning Diary (ILD) system. You have your own secure parent login where you can see what your child has been doing at nursery, information about their development and the next steps we have set to extend their learning further. You are also encouraged to add observations from home if you want to show us what your child has been up to. The ILD system is your record of your child’s achievement and can either be printed when your child leaves or saved to a memory disk to treasure forever.
Transition to school When it’s time for your children to go to school we make links with your chosen school to help towards a smooth transition. We will work with the school to understand the skills your child will need to ensure they are ready and will talk to your child about their new school including teacher’s names etc.
But don’t worry, even when your child has started going to school we run a holiday club provision so they can be back with us to support you through the holidays!
