About Us

Starting Pre-School and/or Play Pals.

Settling In
It is important for parents and pre-school staff to work in partnership to build your child’s confidence - a child who is tense or unhappy will be unable to play and learn to their full potential. Starting Pre-School is a brand new experience for children. It may be the first experience of separation from a parent. For this reason we offer a flexible approach to settling in, with free trial sessions that both children and parents can attend.

After every session you will always be given the opportunity to discuss how your child has been in your absence with your child’s key person. Your key person is also happy to telephone you during sessions, letting you know how your child is getting on during the settling in period. As a parent/carer you are welcome to telephone the setting as often as you like.
