Will my child start their session immediately?

Your child will work through a settling in process, where families are encouraged to stay and play with their child for short sessions, before commencing full time at the nursery. Each child is individually unique, and as such we adapt the settling in process for each child based on their needs.
Will my child have one teacher?

During your child's settling in process, based on attachment they will be assigned a key person. The key person will lead your child's learning, development, care needs and partnership with families. Your child will also spend a lot of time with other teachers in their room, so will be comfortable with other familiar adults. Where your child moves rooms, they will have a transition period with teachers in the following room to ensure a smooth key person handover.
Do you offer meals at nursery?

We offer snack twice a day at nursery, where milk and water are offered for free. We charge parents a small fee each week towards the main snack meal. Our snacks are healthy, nutritious and follow national health and safety guidelines. We have a 2 week alternating menu available to families upon admission to the nursery.
