Induction - Starting at the Nursery
Once you have accepted an offered place at the Nursery we start our carefully planned Induction. This is an important time when we start to get to know your child, their interests, experiences of being with others and any individual requirements they may have. This information is captured in our Unique Child forms.
Since the COVID we have changed a few methods. At this moment in time, we are only allowing staff and children into the building. This is to make sure that we keep staff, children and families safe.
The induction will take place over the phone; the keyworker of your child will call you the day before the child is due to start their settling in sessions to go over a few points with you and to answer any questions that you may have.
Settling In Period
To ensure a smooth and happy transition at Little Engineers we will have a settling period over 3 days before your child’s actual start date.

If your child is still unsettled after the 3 days, we may need to extend your child's settling in sessions.
Please keep in mind that your child may be upset when you drop them off as it can take up to 6-8 weeks for your child to fully settle in.
Please see the Settling in Procedure for more information and the presentation on Settling in Nursery for settlers.
