Transition

FAQs for Parents and Carers

How long does it take for my child to settle in? 

Every child is different. Some may settle quickly, while others need more time. Our flexible settling-in sessions ensure your child adjusts at their own pace.

Can I stay with my child during the first few sessions? 

Yes! We encourage parents and carers to stay for the first sessions to help ease the transition.

What should my child bring to nursery? 

We recommend bringing:

  • A spare set of clothes
  • Nappies and wipes (if applicable)
  • A comfort item (e.g., a blanket or soft toy)
  • A water bottle and any special dietary items
How do you help children with separation anxiety? 

Our staff are experienced in supporting children through separation anxiety. We use distraction techniques, comforting routines, and encourage children to form bonds with their key person.

Can I check in on my child during the day? 

Absolutely! We understand that the first days can be emotional, so we’re happy to provide updates on how your child is settling
