These short sessions at nursery help little ones (and their parents/carers) get used to the nursery before they start their normal hours. It can take a few sessions for your child to feel settled. All settings offer short one to two hour sessions but the actual settling-in process will vary however depending on how your child is, as we go at their pace and are led by them. Settling is a really important process as it builds trust, security and attachment.

No, unfortunately at nursery we have a strict policy on exclusion periods. For sickness and diarrhoea children must be away from nursery for 48 hours after their last symptom.

We supply all snacks, drinks and meals for your child except for any prescribed milk powder. We do not allow you to supply your own food as we adhere to strict guidelines regarding allergies and intolerances within the nursery.
