Nursery New Starters Information September 2026

We cannot wait for your child to start Nursery with us in September.

We will be holding a series of transition events to ensure your child settles in quickly and those relationships with the staff can begin.

 

1/ Welcome event

We are holding a welcome event  in Nursery. We would like to invite you and your child to visit Nursery on Wednesday 17th June 3:30-4:30 to meet the staff, their new classmates and have a play in their new setting.  This will also be an open day so if you know anybody who is looking for a Nursery place, please let them know so they can pop along to see us.

 

2/ Information Session

We will be holding an information meeting for adults on Thursday 25th June 9.15-10.15 or 3.30 – 4.30. (you only need to attend one session). At these sessions we will discuss the Nursery curriculum, the daily routine, uniform, distribute forms, allocate you an hour transition visit and explain starting arrangements for September. You will also have the opportunity to look around the Nursery setting and meet the staff.

There are 2 times to choose from to hopefully accommodate as many of you as possible.  You DO NOT NEED TO ATTEND BOTH, please choose one.

 

3/ Invitation to Class Dojo

You will be invited via your email address to our Class Dojo system. We use this for communication purposes and to share photos of your child’s successes and day with you. I will let you know when we send the invites.

 

4/ Transition visit from the staff to your child

If your child is already at a setting, a member of staff can arrange with the setting to visit them there so they can see them in their familiar environment, as well as speaking to the setting staff.

 

5/ Home visit from the staff to you and your child

We would love to come and see you and your child in your home. This enables us to see your child at home with you and allows you to have a private discussion about your child within your own environment.  If you would like to organise this please speak to us.

 

6/Second Stay and Play Session

We are holding a stay and play session in Nursery. This is on the 30th June from 1.00-2.30. Feel free to pop in between these times. You will be more than welcome! 

 

7/ One hour Nursery visit – Week commencing 6th July

We would like to invite you to bring your child to join us in nursery for an hour transition session. If your child will not settle, please do not worry, of course you can stay with them.

You will be able to sign up to your preferred time/day at the parent information session.
