Admissions & Settling In
Your journey with Bede's Nursery will usually start with a tour of the Nursery and of the broader Prep School if you feel that would be useful.
Settling in
Before starting in the Nursery you and your child will be invited to come and spend some time with us for a number of Warming Up Sessions, providing an opportunity for the team to get to know you and your child better, and to understand their individual routine.
We recognise that each child settles into Nursery at their own pace and staff provide the children with personalised care during this important transition period.
We know that if your child is new to the Nursery, a little unsettled or out of sorts, parents sometimes need a little extra reassurance during the day and our staff are always happy to email or phone with an update throughout the day. As your child moves through the Nursery between the different rooms, we repeat this settling-in process in order to ensure that transitions are as smooth as possible.
At the end of the day in the Baby and Toddler Unit, parents receive a log sheet with details of your child’s day, including meals and snacks, bottles, nappy changes and, of course, sleep. In the older settings, based in Holywell Mount, parents receive detailed verbal feedback.
To book a tour, please email nursery@bedes.org or call 01323 356987.
