We all know the familiar feelings when contemplating change. Anticipation, excitement and curiosity may well be tempered with anxiety, uncertainty, fear and a sense of bewilderment as we are faced with unfamiliar experiences, people, places or events.

At Beanstalk Family Nurture Centre  we want the transition to be a positive experience and we strive for it to be  as  seamless and natural  as possible for all children and families.

What to expect from a  transition to  Beanstalk  Family Nurture Centre

• Contact prior to child starting  –  an opportunity for Parent/Carer to share information about the child and also ask questions about the nursery life.
• Digital communication with information about staff and nursery life.
• Nursery settle visit with the parent/carer.
• Three nursery settle visit,  this is flexible and more can be added to meet each child’s individual need.
• When a child starts nursery their attendance time is decided in discussion with parents/carers.
• When a child starts nursery they will be assigned a keyworker from the staff team that will be the main point of contact for the family.
• “Settle in chat”  will happen with keyworker when the child has been attending for 6-8 weeks.
