Settling in Sessions
At Daybreak Rickmansworth Shepherds Lane Day 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 operate a ‘nursery year’ which runs from September 1st to August 31st.
We close for one week at Christmas and for all other Bank Holidays.
Fees are worked out from your actual booked attendance, based on Daybreak Rickmansworth’s fee structure, and we calculate them by taking the weekly attendance fee, multiplying this by 52 (the number of chargeable weeks each year), and then dividing this by 12 to give you your monthly payment. Fees must be paid in advance on the first day of each month (at the latest) by either Direct Debit or voucher.
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 a child at Daybreak already, or are registering more than 1 child, we have a 5% discount on your oldest child’s nursery fees when your younger child starts. Please ask us for more information on this at the nursery
