Starting nursery is a big step for both parents and children. When my son Charlie began at Brentford Day Nursery at just 10 months old, I had all the usual worries. Would he like nursery? Would he settle in well? What if it turned out to be a disaster? We didn’t really have a Plan B!
The Transition to Nursery
Thankfully, from the moment we started, we were in safe hands. Brentford Nursery offers a long settling-in period of four weeks, which was fantastic. This gradual introduction allowed Charlie to work up to longer and longer stays, manage different naptimes, mealtimes, and just adjust to his new normal.
Supportive and Caring Staff
The staff were all so caring and took so much time to ensure that Charlie (and Mum and Dad!) were adjusting well. Their attention to detail and genuine care made a world of difference. They were always there to answer questions, offer reassurance, and provide updates on Charlie’s progress. This personalised approach made us feel confident and secure in our choice.
Smooth Transition Back to Work
At the end of the month, when it came time for me to start work, Charlie had spent a good amount of time adjusting. I was able to return to the office without any worries about how he was doing. In fact, I felt great seeing all the activities, crafts, socialising, and fun he was having each day. The nursery’s engaging environment meant that Charlie was not only well cared for but also stimulated and happy.
A Happy, Confident Child
Now, when I drop Charlie off at nursery, he runs up to everyone’s arms, gives them a great big hug, and waves goodbye with little hesitation. It’s heart-warming to see him so excited and confident. The nursery has become a second home for him, a place where he feels loved, secure, and eager to learn.
