Parent information

Settling in together

Starting nursery is a big step. We use each baby and child’s interests to help them settle — alongside welcome messages, visits, and settling-in sessions — so parents feel confident leaving their child in our care.

How it works

We focus on what matters most to each child to support their transition into nursery. We recognise that parents know their children best.

Welcome messages & visits

Before your child starts, we share welcome messages and arrange visits so your family can tour the nursery, meet practitioners, and ask questions about routines and care.

Settling-in sessions

We organise settling-in sessions around your child’s interests, giving them time to become familiar with their room, key person, and daily rhythms at their own pace.

Open door policy

We operate an open-door policy so families can stay connected with nursery life. Your child's key person supports emotional security and keeps communication flowing throughout settling in.

Parents know children best

Children enter nursery with varying abilities and experiences. We work in partnership with you, drawing on your knowledge of your child's routines, comforts, and preferences.

Tips for families

Practical guidance to help your child settle and feel safe at nursery.

Share comfort items

Tell us about sleep routines, favourite foods, and anything that helps your child feel secure. Your insights shape how we care for them during their early days.

Commit to regular sessions

We advise parents to commit to a minimum of two sessions. This ensures continuity for your child, helping them feel safe and settled whilst at nursery.

Stay connected with Famly

The Famly app gives you constant visibility of what your child is up to and acts as a direct link to the setting for questions or information you wish to share.
