Gentle beginnings
Some children run in on day one; others need a slower road. Both are completely normal — we shape settling in around your child, never a fixed timetable.
How settling in works
Visit us together
A relaxed look around — meet the team, explore the rooms and outdoor space, ask anything.
Stay-and-play sessions
You stay nearby while your child explores and gets to know their key person.
Short sessions solo
A little while without you — always ending on a happy note — building up gradually.
Their full pattern
Once confident, your child moves to their agreed days, with their key person keeping you posted.
Familiar faces, soft corners
When your child first arrives, we keep things calm and cosy. Their key person is right there, ready with a story, a cuddle or a favourite toy until they feel ready to explore.
Our rooms are set up so there's always somewhere quiet to land — and always something tempting just around the corner.
Confidence grows through play
Before long, the aprons go on and the paints come out. Each small step — staying a little longer, joining a new activity — is celebrated at your child's pace.
You'll see it unfold on Famly: the first smile, the first friend, the moment they wave goodbye without a wobble.
What to bring
A named morning snack and packed lunch — we're nut-aware, so no nuts please. Fresh water is provided all day.
A full change of clothes (adventures can be messy).
Nappies and wipes if needed — we support toilet training when you're ready.
A small comforter if it helps — completely welcome.
And for the grown-ups
Wobbly goodbyes are normal — short, warm and confident helps. Message us any time in the early days and watch Famly for the photo that says it all: they're okay.
Come and see for yourself
The first step is a visit — together. Book one today and we'll reply within two working days.
