Settling In

I operate a settling in policy in my setting which takes the following form.

The amount of time taken for settling in will vary according to the child and I waive all charges for the time taken when the child joins my setting.

We will initially meet in my setting to discuss arrangements for your child go through policies etc, whilst your child is with you.

We will then meet again at the setting with you leaving the room initially for short times allowing your child to become used to me and the setting with the security of knowing you are still there. The length of time will be increased gradually with you eventually leaving the setting completely for short times, then getting longer. It is important that the child feels safe and secure which is why the length of period can vary.
