Settling and what to bring

Visiting

Two weeks before your child starts, visits will be scheduled so your child can start to settle in.
A minimum of five visits is recommended but the more visits the better. During these visits, it allows your child to become familiar with their new environment and get to know the teachers
Every child is different and has different needs, this is just a guideline. You know your child well, so we welcome your suggestions and ideas.
Please bring their special comforter, this will help your child with settling, having something familiar from home.
Please familiarise yourself with the parent policy folder.
