Settling in nursery

We mainly do three settling in days for an hour each day. On the first day the parents/carer will stay with the child in their assigned room for an hour. The second day includes the parent/carer staying with their child for half an hour and for another half an hour they leave their child with us. On the third day, they will leave the child with us for an hour. This is our basic settling in routine. But we do extend the settling in period, if either you or we do not feel that your child has properly settled.

We encourage our new parents to settle their child until both you and your child are relaxed and comfortable in the nursery setting. The settling in sessions within our nursery are all free of charge.

What you need to bring to the nursery?

Depending on the child’s needs, age and stage of development, you need to bring the following things:

  • A change of clothes. Extra underwear/knickers and bottoms if they are potty training
  • Breast milk/ formula milk
  • Bottles/cups
  • Comfort toy or blanket
  • Nappies and wipes

Clothing and Personal Property

We advised our parents/carer that your child will be involved in messy activities at nursery and although the staff will encourage them to wear aprons whenever possible, we would advise that your child does not wear any expensive or branded clothes to the nursery as accidents can happen. We also encourage parents to label all their belonging with their child’s name that they bring to the nursery as it will avoid mixing with other children’s belongings. The nursery will not take any responsibility for items lost, missing, or stolen from the nursery, this also including jewellery.

We welcome comfort toys for children but we do not encourage any other toys from home as they do become upset if items become mislaid or broken. 

Illness/Sickness

If your child is suffering or has symptoms of an infectious illness; your child should participate in an exclusion period from the nursery for a time period advised by a medical professional for the well being of all children and staff attending Busy Angels Day Nursery. For referrals to advised exclusion periods for an illness, please see the link below:

If your child suffers from a non-infectious illness or an allergy, we will facilitate your child with the given medication – as long as it has been prescribed by a medical professional.

Medication

A signed medication form must be completed by the parent/carer of the child if they are to provide the nursery with medication for their child.
