HOW WE CARE
Supporting you and your child every step of the way
Starting nursery is a big moment for families. Here’s how we make it as smooth and reassuring as possible:
Your child’s key person
Every child is assigned a dedicated key person who gets to know their needs, likes, routines and favourite things before they even start.
Settling-in sessions
Before your child’s start date we arrange dedicated settling-in visits at a time that suits you, so the first day feels familiar.
Daily updates
We share daily diaries, feedback sheets and verbal updates so you always know how your child’s day has been.
Trained, DBS-checked staff
All staff hold full paediatric first aid training and are DBS-checked before working with children, with checks renewed every three years.
FOOD AND NUTRITION
We provide nutritious snacks each day, supporting the Healthy School Initiative. We cater for all dietary, allergy and religious requirements.
What to Bring
Children spend time outdoors every day, so comfortable play clothes are best.
- A labelled backpack
- Spare clothes (extra if toilet training)
- Comfort item if needed
- Nappies and wipes if applicable
- Outdoor clothing suitable for the season
Our team
Our small, experienced team provides consistent, caring support for every child.
