their start date is required to complete a phase in. the length

The parent will be required on the first phase in to visit the
nursery with their child and stay with them for at least half
an hour. On this visit the key worker and parents will complete
all relevant paperwork, such as child profile form, authority
to collect and permission slips. Phase in times and dates for
the child to visit for short periods increasing the time will
be arranged at this time, depending on both the child’s

they arrive until the child is settled. It is important that
good parent communication is achieved at this time to ensure
