A Guide For Parents
When your child comes to Pre-School for the first time it is a huge step for both of you.
We must work together to ensure it is a great success!
We want your child to have a very happy and successful time with us and
hope this website will answer any last minute thoughts or concerns you may think of.
We recognise how much you have taught your child already,
and how from Pre-School and home a partnership in a countinuing education.
If you have any queries or things you would like to discuss with your child's key worker
do not hesitate to do so.
In the first few week's of Pre-School it is important that you feel happy and trust us.
This help's to build up your child's confidence.
Equally if something different is happening at home that might unsettle your child,
it help's if the staff are aware of this as it may explain a change in behaviour.
Settling In Period
To help your child feel safe and happy with us we recommend a settling in period,
prior to the child beginning at the pre-school.
We recommend that you as a parent/carer [or someone your child knows] will spend one
morning a week, from 9.15am - 10.00am, getting to know the staff,
routine of the day and other children.
This all happens at a pace which suits you and your child.
We find this routine helps your child to settle in and enjoy their time with us.
