Admissions
Admissions at Leap Ahead Day Nursery will be subject to the following selection procedure:
If Nursery places are full, children’s names will be put on the waiting list. The allocation of places, will be based on a first come first served basis, with consideration given to the following:
* The Nursery will attempt to keep of balance throughout the age-range of children
* Priority will be given to siblings of children already attending
* Priority will be given to working parents requiring full-time places.
* The number of sessions requested per week.
The Nursery is committed to Equal Opportunities and this will be at all times reflected in the allocation of child places and in the recruitment of staff.
As a registered setting, Leap Ahead Day Nursery has a duty of care to alert Social Services to any serious concerns of child abuse
Settling in Arrangements
Once settled we are sure that the children will enjoy the happy and stimulating environment of Leap Ahead Day Nursery. However, children are individuals and the settling in process will be quicker for some than for others. In order to assist your child to settle into the Nursery, parents are welcome to stay until he/she is happy to be left and you will not be restricted to any time limit. If leaving your child, a way of reinforcing the fact that you will be coming back for them later, is for you to give him/her a non-valuable item to save for you in their pocket. There is no guarantee that this will be the answer for your child but it has been known to be effective.
