How do I apply for a childcare place?
Firstly decide what your childcare requirements are, confirm we have space then complete the registration form and bring it into/email or post it to the nursery (£20 registration fee for paid paces only). We will then organise free visits to help your little one settle in before they start.
How will my child settle in?
The settling in period is tailored to suit your individual needs and the needs of your child. However typically, this will be several short visits gradually extended. The staff will support you closely with this.
A key person will work closely with you to help this transition period and getting to know the staff will help and build you and your child’s confidence.
