This allows the key person to spend quality time with you and your child, as this day can be upsetting for both of you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We endeavour to make the transition as smooth as possible and appreciate your co-operation. We request that your child bring a named bag, spare clothes for those little accidents, and a named coat to avoid confusion. We do have group bags if you would like to purchase one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You are welcome to stay for as long as you need, but you should not feel guilty if you want to make a quick getaway. However, we do not advise that you \u201csneak\u201d away when they are distracted, as this can be very upsetting for children. We suggest you hug and kiss them when you leave and reassure them that you will return later.<br \/>Leaving your child at nursery is a big step for you and your child. It is our job to make this as stress-free as possible. We do this by arranging free taster sessions where your child joins the group, gets to know the other children, and spends quality time getting to know your child&#8217;s key person.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Working Together Is Important<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We appreciate that you lead busy lives, which is why we provide a variety of ways to share your child\u2019s learning and development.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A chat at the end of the session<\/li>\n<li>Regular Newsletters.<\/li>\n<li>Using the Famly app (translates communications)<\/li>\n<li>Join us for a Stay and Play session<\/li>\n<li>Arrange a time to meet your child\u2019s key person.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We will provide interesting home learning activities that we can do at home and the nursery; this helps us consolidate their learning. We will provide guidance and activity ideas to support maths, reading and writing and how to help children understand the world around them. Our SENDCo works alongside outside agencies to help children who learn differently and may need extra support. You will find many books in our library in the Conservatory for you to borrow. A good starting point is discussing the pictures, encouraging children to listen and point out what they know.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Your child\u2019s key person will keep you updated and support you as a family to help your child learn and thrive.
