Settling-In
After your child has been offered a place at Domino, we will contact you to book a home visit, this will be arranged at a time suited to you in your home. During the visit will shall arrange further settling in sessions for your child and introduce you and your child to their key person.
They will go through your child’s ‘All about me’ documentation that will be placed in the front of your child’s learning journey.
The ‘All about me’ has a series of questions tailored to develop an excellent understanding of your child’s needs. This helps the settling process for you and your child as we promote a professional relationship between you, your child and their key person.
During the first visits to the Pre-school we advise to stay with your child as long as it is needed to feel secure and confident.
