Top Tips for settling your child into nursery...
• Do introduce the idea a few weeks before – say how great it’s going to be to make lots of new friends and play with different toys etc.
• Do visit the nursery before the big day with your child for an hour or so - they can meet the staff, see where the toys are and join in with an activity but with you there for security.
• Do talk through any concerns in advance with the staff, who will be experienced and willing to help. If your child has a special cuddly toy or similar, do ask the nursery staff if they can bring it in with them.
• Do allow plenty of time to get to the nursery and to settle your child in and always put on your most smiley face! If you are rushed or
stressed, your little one will pick up on it and is less likely to want to stay.
• Don’t make your goodbye a long one. Keep it relaxed, cheerful and short and never show that you are upset to be leaving them. Don’t just sneak off though – if you do, your child may feel abandoned and will not want to stay again.
• Do remember that your child will probably feel very tired at the end of the day - playing and exploring a new environment is hard work! They will need some extra attention and cuddles.
