SETTLING IN
The settling in period is a very important time in Nursery for your child. We will try hard to make the transfer from home to Nursery a happy experience. Each child will be allocated a Key Worker within their first week who will be responsible for building a supportive relationship with your child and recording their achievements.

BRINGING AND COLLECTING:
- All children must be accompanied to and from school by a responsible adult.
- It is important that children are dropped off and collected on time as they will become anxious if you are late.
