Settling in

We aim to provide both child and parent with a flexible approach at this anxious time, to achieve the best results.

At MiniStars Childcare we recognise every child and family is different and may require different levels of settling in. Practitioners will work in partnership with parents/carers to settle the child into the Nursery environment.

There will be a visit to the setting so that the child can familiarise him/herself with the Nursery.  During the first few visits, parents/carers will stay with the child for sufficient time so that the child feels settled and the parent/carer feels comfortable about leaving him or her. This arrangement can continue until the child feels at home within the Nursery. At MiniStars Childcare we recognise every child and family is different and may require different levels of settling in.

Any child attending MiniStars for the first time will require both time and understanding to settle into their new environment. Parents also need time to adapt to leaving their child, and to gain confidence in the nursery’s ability to provide appropriate care

All children are unique. The amount of time it takes each child to settle can vary enormously. Therefore, we will give your child time to settle at their own pace, so as to feel welcome, safe and secure in their new environment.
