Settling your child in...

When your child starts at Monkey Puzzle, it is important for everyone concerned that they are happy and settle in as soon as possible.  Some children feel comfortable straight away, whilst others take longer to get used to their new environment. 

 We want your child to feel safe and happy in your absence as they cannot play and learn successfully if they feel anxious or unhappy.

Our settling in procedure aims to help you and your child to feel welcome, comfortable and involved at Monkey Puzzle.  We aim to create a partnership with you as parents /guardian.

To help your child settle in we organise a short visit before you start. This introduces both you and your little one to the staff who will be resonsible for their education and welfare. We will ask you to complete a registration form which we will keep on file. This lists contact details, allergies, immunisation history and any other important information which will help us settle them in.

  The staff will be available to answer any questions you may have after that visit.

Often it is the parent who is more anxious than the child when stating Pre School, This is quite natural and we understand completely how you will feel. You will be welcome to telephone to check how they are if you wish.
