Admissions
We know it can be a daunting prospect for children (and parents) when they first enrol at nursery school. In the interests of each child's emotional wellbeing we offer individually planned settling in visits to the nursery. We suggest a child makes at least 3 visits to help develop relationships with their key person, other practitioners and make friends with children within their unit. The visits enable parents to meet the staff, ask questions, pass on important information and develop trusting relationships.
We encourage our new children to recognise adults as a source of support and friendship. The key person will plan and support their learning and development, help build their confidence, nurture their self-esteem and ensure that they are safe and feel secure whilst in our care.
The key person will make home visits where it is in the interest of the child and their families emotional wellbeing. If a child is currently attending another setting we will invite them and their key person to visit Little Jo's and/or we will visit them in their current setting.
