That first separation from home is a significant experience in a child's life. With a little preparation it can turn into an adventure your child looks forward to every morning.
Advice for an easier transition
- Talk to your child about nursery in a positive way a few days before they start
- Visit the nursery together before the first day so they get to know the place
- Keep goodbyes short and firm, with a reassuring smile
- Stick to a consistent sleep and wake routine
A tip: don't worry if your child cries in the first few days — it is completely normal, and most children settle in within one to two weeks.
Our teaching team at Kids Castle is trained to make that separation safe and gentle, and we keep parents updated every day through our app so you can follow your child settling in moment by moment.
