Registration

Before a child can start in the nursery a few requirements must be met. Registration forms, which are available from the nursery, must be completed and a small number of free introductory sessions are offered, these are:

• A tour around the nursery with parent and child to see our environment, your child’s specified room and to meet our staffing team.

• A one hour settling session with parent and child. This gives you the opportunity to discuss your child’s individual routines and requirements with their key worker and discuss with them how they plan, monitor and assess your child’s learning and development.

• A two hour settling session with child. We encourage on your second session to leave your child for a period of time to ensure they are comfortable independently exploring their new rooms and create bonds with their individual keyworker.

The above sessions are to allow you the chance to see the nursery and learn what you need to make a fully informed decision on whether West Park Kindergarten is the right place for your child. We aim to be as flexible as possible with sessions but they are subject to availability, in the event that the sessions you desire are unavailable we will try our best to work out suitable alternatives for you and your child. A £25 registration fee is also required for a place in the nursery.
