Things you need to know when your child starts at Daisies Childcare

Your child is starting their exciting educational journey, and we thank you that you have chosen Daisies Childcare. We are dedicated to enhancing your child’s development, specialising in children that have English as an additional language, Special Educational needs. We encourage you to come and have a look round and ask as many questions you want.

Settling In

It is important that your child has settling sessions so that they can get to know their key person and their new nursery environment. All children are different and take different amounts of time for them to settle.

We advise that they have 1 hour session to start with, building up to 2 hours and then 3.

In your child's bag

Your child will need at least one spare set of clothes, Nappies and wipes if they use them, or spare pants if they are toilet training, and a water bottle. Please name/label all items.
