How to Help Your Child Settle into Nursery

• Talk to your child. Tell them about the things they will do in the Nursery.
• Have a positive attitude yourself. Do not pass on any anxieties of your own.
• Look at books about Nursery with your child.
• Teach your child to use the toilet independently (sensible clothes will help here).
• Make sure that your child is accompanied into the Nursery each day. Please see their family group leader before leaving.
• Give your child encouragement to find their own coat peg and to hang up their own coat.
• Help your child to register themselves on the appropriate board.
• Do try to collect your child on time as it can be very distressing for a child to remain when all the others have gone. 

We hope that your child's year with us will provide a strong foundation for their future. Together, in partnership with you as parents, we can work towards giving them a positive start to their education enabling them to fulfil their potential.
