Top Tips for Starting Delamere

My child has been familiarised with the toilet/potty e.g. they have sat on a potty, they are able to access to the toilet.
My child has been given the opportunity to use cutlery and an open cup
My child has been given the opportunity to play alongside another child.
My child has been exposed to a wide variety of foods
My child has been given the opportunity to walk holding the hand of an adult
My child has been given the opportunity to make choices at home

Your child can wear school uniform, but it is not compulsory in Nursery. Some parents find that this is a good object of reference so that their child knows where they are going, especially if your child attends two settings.
Clothes that are easy to take on and off eg joggers, leggings.
Clothes that you don’t mind getting messy! We do lots of sensory play and although we encourage children to wear aprons some find them uncomfortable.
Nappies rather than pull ups-some children find being changed distressing and nappies are easier and quicker to remove.

We will start by building up positive relationships with your child
We will spend lots of time observing your child in order to find out their interests, motivators, strengths and areas for development
We will introduce your child to a wide range of high-quality resources, activities and experiences
We will share information with you, such as class timetable, newsletter, communication strategies. You will be provided with a ParentMail log on within the first couple of days of your child starting. You will also be provided with a log on for Evisense which is your child’s learning journey.
You will be invited to our ‘Delamere Let’s get started’ parent group.
