Depending on availability, The Mama Bear's in Yeovil, Plymouth, Bradley Stoke, and Whiteladies Road (Clifton) open at 7 a.m.
To assist them adjust, it is advised that children who are going to attend nursery go on at least two familiarisation visits with a parent or caretaker.
Whilst we try not to encourage children to bring their own toys from home with them, sometimes a teddy or blanket can be a comfort during the first few days.
A staff member welcomes and releases each visitor to the nursery.
Only those who are pre-authorised to collect their child from nursery will be allowed to do so, unless approval is given by the parent/carer.
We will phone you and ask that the kid be picked up if a child becomes ill during their nursery session and a temperature is detected.
If they are healthy enough to do so, they can go back to the nursery once the temperature has subsided.
We are pleased to give children who are teething or have just received early childhood vaccines Calpol during the childcare day.
When leaving off your kid at the nursery, deliver this to a staff member who will be clearly labelled with your child's name.
Staff will request that a medication form is completed prior to administration.
