Preparing for Nursery

We understand that the first day in a new environment may be daunting for some children. Nursery School may also be the first time some children are left without Mummy or Daddy present. Just before they start, we invite children to come for a settling-in day.

An additional introductory tool is our Parent and Toddler Group. As part of the Nursery School, this group is an excellent preparation for children planning to join the nursery as they become familiar with the surroundings and teachers without being away from their parents.

New Parent Booklet

All new parents will receive a New Parent Booklet prior to their child’s start with practical guidance on settling in, dress code, parent communication, packed lunch and so forth. We value our parent relationships and are happy to listen to and address any concerns during the settling in period. 

We believe that parents are the child’s first teacher and we want to partner with parents in every aspect of child development from behaviour to their learning and preparation for school. 

“ I cannot recommend Zebedee more highly. Miss Su is a phenomenal woman and we feel so lucky to have been under her stewardship. Such is her wisdom that even 8 years on I still seek her advice when making any important decisions about my children. ”
