My child has never been separated from me before - what is the settling in procedure at the nursery?
-
Please refer to our Settling in section.
-
Yes, for all children aged 18months +. We believe that uniforms give the child a sense of pride in belonging to a nursery. Furthermore, it helps them get used to wearing uniforms for when they go to big school. These are just some of the reasons why uniforms are compulsory at Abracadabra Preschools Nurseries.
-
At the nursery, we encourage and promote positive behaviours. We teach the children that negative behaviours are not an appropriate way to seek the attention of peers or adults, whilst positive behaviours are celebrated and rewarded.
-
Please send your child appropriately dressed to nursery as they will have an opportunity to play outside – every single day of the year – in all weathers. We believe that if your child is well enough to come to nursery then he / she is well enough to play outside and get some fresh air. Please discuss with a member of staff about the advantages of playing outdoors.
-
Yes. Please refer to our Additional Resources section.
-
Yes we do. We will work with you to help your child with potty training.
All complaints can be lodged to Ofsted on 0300 123 1231.
However, we would expect parents to contact the setting Manager in the first instance to resolve the
