Settling in Period

Every child settles differently.  Working closely with parents we arrange dates and times so that the transition from home to Nursery runs smoothly. We also incorporate Home Visits. This is a good experience for us to get to know the children’s family life.

A key person will be designated, who will offer security, continuity and reassurance.  They will usually be the one that will feed, soothe and change your child.  They are in the best position to understand your child’s individual needs and to share information with you about your child’s experiences in Nursery.​

Open Door Policy

Children 1st Day Nursery operate an “Open Door” Policy.  This our way of encouraging parent participation. We welcome parents to visit us – to see how the Nursery operates, read our Policy & Procedures or take part in daily activities.  

We hold different events during the year where parents are invited to participate – Sports Days, Picnics, Black History Month, St Georges Day and St Patrick’s Day etc.  

We also hold “Play & Stay” sessions and twice a year we conduct “Parents Consultations”
