First Day

The childminder acts as each child’s key person, providing consistent care, support, and attention. They work closely with both the child and their family to build warm, trusting relationships. Alongside a buddy, the childminder oversees the child’s learning and development, nurturing confidence, independence, and resilience within a safe and caring environment.

Creating a sense of comfort and familiarity within the nursery environment and with their key person is crucial for your child’s smooth transition into nursery life. To facilitate this, we invite you and your child to join in on play sessions with their assigned key person. These sessions are tailored to your child’s pace, ensuring a gentle and personal adjustment period. The key person will also assist during drop-offs and pickups, providing a nurturing and supportive transition for your child.

Embarking on the journey with your little one is an exciting milestone, and being well-prepared can make this transition smoother and more enjoyable for both of you. To ensure your child has everything they need for a fun and comfortable day, we’ve compiled a comprehensive nursery checklist.

This checklist is designed to help you pack effectively, covering all the necessities from spare clothes to snacks, ensuring your child is ready for a day filled with learning and play. Let’s get started on preparing the perfect nursery backpack for your little explorer!
