It starts with you liaising with the admissions team to provide all the necessary details, and then the Nursery Manager can help organise the first settle based on your proposed start date. On this day, the parent and child will attend for a short visit, with the parent remaining onsite while the child gets familiar with their surroundings and people. This allows the transition period to be as smooth as possible, helping your child build initial bonds within the room.
