Settling In

As parents ourselves, we understand that starting preschool can be a worrying time for both you and your child — and we do everything we can to make it as easy as possible.

For most children the first introductory visits will be sufficient and they will settle in quite quickly. However some children take a little longer, and you are welcome to stay with your child until their confidence has grown and they are happy for you to leave.

Settling in usually takes about two weeks, but if your child continues to be upset we may discuss a different approach with you that gives your child the reassurance they need to settle in.

How you can help

• Talk positively about preschool in the days before starting.
• Keep goodbyes brief, warm and reassuring.
• Let us know anything about your child that will help us care for them.
