‘Settling in’
At Buttercups we understand that both you and your child may have varied reactions to starting nursery for the first time, and we want to make the whole experience a happy and memorable one for you all.
We have a two-week ‘settling in’ procedure to ensure that your child feels comfortable in their new surroundings and for you to feel happy knowing that your child is in a secure, caring environment.
Your child’s progression
Key-worker system
In our nurseries we operate a key-worker system. Whilst all staff work with each child, to ensure continuity of care when a member of staff may be absent, the key-worker will assume overall responsibility for a group of children. The key-worker is responsible for keeping the development profiles of their key-children up-to-date. The key-worker is also responsible for 'settling in' their key-child and parent into the nursery.
Regular reviews
As part of your child’s development parents are invited to come to the nursery for consultations with your child’s key-worker to discuss their progress. Parents are welcome to arrange a mutually convenient time to discuss any matters regarding their child’s welfare.
