Old Doune Road Nursery wants all children to settle into nursery life as smoothly as possible.
Parents are welcome to spend some time with their child in the nursery initially and then to withdraw gradually. Parents are the best judges as to how their child will settle best and this will be discussed with a view to putting a settling in period in place that suits the individual needs of each child.
Before your initial settle, we will issue an individual personal plan for you to fill out which will support all practitioners in getting to know your child. This will include aspects such as routine, preferences and medical requirements, as well as other important care and learning needs.
We offer a month's settling period, where we gradually build up the time your child will spend with us each time, covering parts of the days such as snack, lunch and sleep for your child to become familiar with the environment.
Parents are welcome to call in or stay any time at our nursery. If your child tends to be upset when you leave them please feel free to discuss this with our staff and how best you feel the situation can be helped.
