Our relationship with you is just as important to us as the one we build with your child. Sharing information about your child, your expectations and your daily routine is key to us providing the best possible care and making life as stress-free as we can. |

In order to welcome you to the polkadot family we like to visit you at home. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions, find out about what you will need to bring to nursery, see a ‘going home book’, see the menu and discuss our daily activities. You will also be asked to pick a password and tell us who is likely to be collecting your baby. At this visit we will also arrange settling-ins with you. |

Settlings-ins are times when you and your little one will come along to the nursery and spend time with our staff in the room your child will come to. This gives you the opportunity to get to know your child's carers and talk about their routine, their likes and dislikes. This time spent with your child’s carers helps to create familiarity and gives you the reassurance that your child recognises where they are and who they are with. |

Your child's take home book will be your link with us on a daily basis. It will let you know what your child has been doing in the day, how many bottles and how much milk they have taken. Also when they had their nappy changed and if it was wet, dry or soiled. It will show you what, and how well, they have eaten and whether they have slept and for how long. Returning to nursery you will use the book to tell your child's carers what sort of night’s sleep your little one had, if they’ve had any medication and at what time, when their last bottle was and how much they had. You can also use it to tell us what your little one has been doing so we can understand their moods. This information is essential in caring for your little one and helps us ensure they get the best care possible. |

Please feel free to call us anytime to see how your little one is doing - we’re always happy to hear from you. We’ll let you know what they’re doing, how well have they have eaten/slept and anything else you need to know. |
