What Happens Next

The first days

A child who is tense or unhappy will not be able to play or learn properly, so it is important for parents and pre-school staff to work together to help the child to feel confident and secure in the group. This takes longer for some children than for others and parents should not feel worried if their child takes a while to settle. The pre-school's policy on settling is enclosed with this prospectus.

What to wear

In order to feel free to explore and experiment with all kinds of materials, including messy ones, it is best to send children dressed in clothes which are easily washable or not too new. Brookside Pre-School Tee Shirts are available, we encourage the children to wear these as it allows the children to feel the belong to the group, it also aids identification on outings.

It is good for children to practice the skills which will make them independent. Simple clothing which they can handle themselves will enable them to go to the toilet when they want to and to put on and take off their outdoor clothes without being too dependent on other people's help.

We hope that your child's time in pre-school will be a very happy and productive one. If you have any queries or if we can be of any help, please contact the staff or committee at any time.
