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.
While we strive to discourage kids from bringing their own toys, a teddy bear or blanket might occasionally be soothing in the first few days.
A staff member welcomes and releases each visitor to the nursery.
Unless the parent/carer gives permission, only people who have been pre-authorized will be able to pick up their kid from nursery.
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 well enough to do so, they can go back to the nursery once the temperature has subsided.
We are pleased to provide 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.
Prior to administration, staff will ask that a medicine paperwork be completed.
