Settling in Sessions
At Children’s House Day Nursery, we believe that children flourish when their personal, social and emotional needs are met. With this in mind, we offer Settling in Sessions for your child before they start their nursery adventure. It’s extremely important that your child feels safe and secure in their nursery environment before they start permanent sessions.
What to expect from Settling in Sessions
- We will start to build relationships with you and your child
- You will meet our team and your child’s Key Person
- We will start to find out your child’s likes and dislikes, home routine and any specific requirements such as nap times, meal preferences and comforters
The main aim of these sessions is to ensure that you and your child feel completely happy before you start permanent sessions with us.
Our Nursery and Registration Fees
We calculate fees from actual booked attendance, based on Children’s House’s fee structure. Fees are calculated by taking your weekly attendance fee, multiplying this by 52 (the number of chargeable weeks annually), and dividing by 12 – to give a monthly payment which is payable in advance, on or before the 1st day of each month by Direct Debit or voucher.
To book a place we require a £75.00 non-refundable registration fee for a new family (Please note this fee is not applicable for fully funded sessions).
Our Siblings Discount
If you already have a child at our nursery or if you’re registering a place for more than one child, we offer a ‘Sibling Discount’ of 5% discount off your oldest child’s nursery fees when their younger sibling starts.
