We​​ have​​ now​​ welcomed all​​ our new children and​​ families and​​ are​​ they are​​ bonding​​ as a group.

The children are settling well​​ at pre-school​​ as they

 

  • Become familiar to a new environment without their familiar adults.

  • Learn new expectations of their behaviour.

  • Learn new routines and boundaries,

  • Mix with new children and adults.

  • Learn to take turns,​​ share,​​ and maybe wait for their needs to be met e.g when they want a particular​​ toy, or​​ to use certain equipment such as a bike or wait for their turn for snack time.

 

 

Scooters And Bikes Must Not Be Ridden​​ into​​ The Building​​ for​​ Health & Safety Reasons.

 

Please Leave Them​​ Safely​​ Outside of The​​ Pre-School Lobby​​ While Collecting Your Child
