Starting Nursery
We understand that choosing the right nursery for your child is a significant milestone and an exciting step in their early years. At Sherwood Green Nurseries, we are here to support you every step of the way to ensure a happy, smooth, and memorable transition for both you and your child.
To help children settle in comfortably, we offer a personalised settling-in package tailored to each individual child and family. This bespoke approach ensures that your child feels safe, secure, and ready to explore their new environment.
Partnership with Your Family
Your child’s key person will work closely with you to make the transition into nursery as positive and seamless as possible. From the very beginning, we take the time to get to know your child—their routine, favourite activities, comfort items, and how they like to be soothed. During settling-in sessions, we’ll learn all about your child’s preferences and unique needs. Whether they have a favourite story, activity, or comforter, we incorporate these elements into their nursery experience to ensure they feel at home.
Learning Through Play
At Sherwood Green Nurseries, we prioritise your child’s interests and provide engaging activities that promote learning through play. Our curriculum is carefully designed to support all areas of development, fostering confidence, creativity, and curiosity in every child.
Innovative Learning Tools
We also provide access to innovative early years learning resources, ensuring that your child benefits from a rich, flexible educational experience. Our dedicated staff and key persons are here to guide your child’s growth while keeping you informed and involved every step of the way.
Settling In Process
We warmly invite you to join your child for their first settling-in session, so you can be with them as they explore their new surroundings. During this session, you’ll have the opportunity to meet your child’s key person, who will be a vital part of their journey at nursery. You can observe how they interact with your child, the rest of the team, and the other children. Following the first session, we encourage a series of short settling-in sessions where you can gradually leave your child for longer periods as they build confidence and feel more comfortable. The settling-in process is completely flexible and tailored to your child’s needs. You can take as much time as you need to ensure both you and your child feel ready. Our nurseries also hold baby and toddler groups and stay and play sessions, which you’re welcome to attend in the lead-up to your child’s first day. These sessions provide an excellent opportunity for you and your child to become familiar with the nursery environment.
Support and Guidance
We are here to offer advice and guidance throughout the settling-in process and beyond. Whether you have concerns about starting nursery, transitioning between rooms, or preparing your child for school, our experienced team is always available to support you. At Sherwood Green Nurseries, we are committed to making this exciting journey a positive and rewarding experience for both you and your child. We look forward to welcoming you to our nursery family.
