The First Days
Introductory sessions prior to the agreed start date assist
with settling in to the nursery. A child who is tense and
unhappy will not be able to play or learn properly, so it
is important for parents and staff to work together to help
the child to feel confident and secure. This may take longer
for some children than for others; parents should not be concerned
if their child takes a while to settle.
Little Echoes operates a waiting list scheme with priority being given to children needing a full time place etc.
What to Wear
In order to feel free to explore and experiment with
all kinds of materials, including messy ones, it is best to
send children dressed in clothes that are comfortable and
easily washable and not in their ‘best’ outfits.
It is good for children to practice the skills that
will make them independent: Simple clothing they
can handle themselves will enable them to go to the toilet
when they want to. It is advisable to provide outdoor clothes
that can be put on and taken off without being too dependent
on the help of others.
