Support your child’s development by making their transition into nursery as easy as possible – Asquith Nurseries and Nannies can help with a revolutionary approach to settling you and your child into nursery life.
For many parents, it can be natural to feel guilty about leaving your child to return to work; these unwarranted feelings are the reason why, when you choose Asquith, it ensures its unparalleled ‘settling in’ policy eases anxiety for both you and your child, with support every step of the way.
Asquith invests quality time upfront getting to know you and your child to ensure their long-term happiness and ultimately, your peace of mind. That’s why, when you make the choice to register your child at an Asquith nursery, the unrivalled childcare service includes settling in sessions at no extra cost, saving you up to £750.
This industry-leading settling in policy, unmatched by other nurseries, provides up to eight weeks of free nursery time tailored to your child’s needs, because it understands that every child starting nursery will settle in at their own pace. Asquith wants you to be able to walk away with confidence.
Getting to know parents is high on Asquith’s agenda, as well as getting you involved in your child’s introduction sessions. The company finds it beneficial to have you present in initial settling in sessions when your child becomes acquainted with their key person. During these sessions Asquith aims to familiarise your child with the nursery and build a relationship with you and your child; helping to eliminate your anxieties and offering reassurance by openly addressing any questions or concerns you have upfront.
By ensuring a positive transition to nursery-based care, Asquith aims to prepare your child for future transitions such as starting school.
Children will be more relaxed during these sessions, and they will also:
Asquith aims to ensure your child is at ease with those taking care of them and their surrounding environment. You can also help ease your child’s transition by:
As you know, not all children adjust to new childcare routines overnight. Like anything in life, you need to give it time for everyone to get used to a new arrangement. A decent adjustment period is a couple of months for both you and your child.
If your child struggles to settle, try setting up play dates with others to promote sharing and play, as well as spending an afternoon with your child at nursery, as you did in the initial settling in sessions.
If you are opting for nanny-led care, Asquith’s award-winning team of nannies understands the benefits of settling in, both at nursery and in the home environment. This is because Asquith offers a revolutionary approach to childcare, combining nannies and nursery and provides flexible options for your child to be with a nanny at home daily, combined with optional time spent at one of its nurseries. This gives your child all the benefits and flexibility of one-to-one care, coupled with the social interaction and friendships from attending a day nursery. It also means that the nanny can ease the transition to nursery, helping your child feel comfortable, confident and safe in a nursery environment.
Asquith Nannies offers four complimentary settling in sessions to support your child through the transition to nanny-led care. If you feel you’ll need additional sessions, these can be arranged, with flexibility to suit you and your child. In the comfort of your home, these sessions provide the opportunity for you and your child to bond with the nanny in surroundings most familiar and secure for your child.
While every child is different, being based in a recognisable environment can help ease your child, with expert support and encouragement, through the process. Of course settling and building a relationship with your nanny will all depend on your child’s experience of new people or being away from home in different environments. Their personalities will have a part to play, too. Treating your nanny as a member of the family can aid the settling in process, if your child sees you are comfortable interacting with their nanny, your child is likely to feel safe and secure in their care more quickly.
