Settling In

 

Before you child starts at Munchkins you will be contacted to arrange some settling in sessions. These short sessions are to allow your child to become familiar with the staff, other children and the setting and also allows us to learn about your child and their routine.

 

Before you child starts their settling in sessions we will ask you to complete their 'All About Me' document. This is very important and really helps us to get your child. You can find copies of these below:

MEALS

If your child is with us over lunch time or tea time they will need a packed lunch/tea. We are able to heat meals up in the Little Moon Room, but once children move up into the Sunbeams and the Sun Room warm food will need to be sent in a thermos.

If your child is prescribed antibiotics they must stay at home until they have been taken for 48 hours. Please refer to the relevant policies on our website if you require more information.
