Frequently Asked Questions
How can I be sure my child will settle and get used to the routines?
Before your child starts at nursery we arrange an induction week, which are convenient with yourself and your child. This allows you and your child to get to know all the staff and your child's key worker. These free sessions also allow your child to become familiar with the surroundings.
If your child is starting nursery in the baby room, we will do our best to follow the routine your child has at home, so that your child settles in and is happy during the nursery day.
If your child is older, they will have a set daily routine, which we follow to help the children settle and become aware of what happens during the nursery day. E.g. Meal times are at the same time every day, sleep times are between 1pm-3pm, outdoor play times are at set times daily etc…
Can I ring the nursery throughout the day?
If your child attends Scotwell House you can call the nursery as many times as you want to until you feel happy, we will put you through to a member of staff who is looking after him or her and they will tell you how they are doing. Please feel free to call us at any time.
