Settling in Sessions

At Angel’s At Play Suckling’s Yard Nursery, we believe that children flourish when their personal, social and emotional needs are met. With this in mind, we offer Settling in Sessions for your child before they start their nursery adventure. It’s extremely important that your child feels safe and secure in their nursery environment before they start permanent sessions.

What to expect from Settling in Sessions

We will start to build relationships with you and your child
You will meet our team and your child’s Key Person
We will start to find out your child’s likes and dislikes, home routine and any specific requirements such as nap times, meal preferences and comforters

The main aim of these sessions is to ensure that you and your child feel completely happy before you start permanent sessions with us.

Our Nursery and Registration Fees

We calculate our fees based on the nurseries fee structure which is reviewed every January (we give parents at least a month’s notice of any changes) and calculate your fees by taking your child’s weekly attendance fee (from pre-booked sessions) and multiplying it by 52 (which is the number of weeks charged for per year). This is divided by 12 in order to create a monthly payment due and this is payable monthly in advance, on (or before) the first day of every month by Standing Order, by cheque or by Childcare Voucher.

Included within our fee structure are SMA (1&2) and Aptimil (1&2) formula milk (under 1 Yrs old) and nappies for our babies (under 2yrs). In addition, for all our children we provide Calpol, sun cream, nappy wipes, bedding and our own unique and innovative child development programmes.

To book a place we require a £75.00 non-refundable registration fee for a new family (Please note this fee is not applicable for fully funded sessions).

Our Sibling Discount

If you have more than one child at either of our nurseries or if you’re registering more than one child at either, we offer a 10% discount on the fees of your oldest child.

What Our Parents Say

Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.

Vaibhav H (Father of Child)

My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

B C (Father of Child)

The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

H G (Mother of Child)

I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips - even in winter is fantastic. My child's development is streets ahead of his peers who don't attend nursery.

S H (Mother of Child)

The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.

Claire F (Mother of Child)

The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.

A D (Father of Child)

The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.

E S (Mother of Child)

I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy's face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

Alexander M (Father of Child)

My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can't thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

G W (Mother of Child)

Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he's as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.
