Settling your child and saying goodbye

We understand that parting with your child can be an anxious experience for both parent and child! The team at Adventure Valley Childcare are here to help make this process an easier one.

On your child's first day please be prepared to stay for a short time, so that the Head Teacher can show you around, introduce you to the wider team of teachers and answer any questions you might have and explain our routines and program.  Some children settle in straight away while others take a little longer, but with perseverance, patience, love and support your child will get there. 

We recommend saying a quick goodbye to your child as lengthy goodbyes can make your eventual departure more difficult for your child.  Our team will be on hand to reassure your child armed with a range of techniques to assist them to settle quickly, confidently and happily.

 You are always more than welcome to ring us at any time of the session to check how your child is getting on.  We can even recommend a fabulous cafe nearby in case you want to stay close and wait for us to ring you to let you know she or he has settled and is happy.
