👶Starting Nursery – A Gentle and Supportive Beginning
We know that starting nursery is a big step for both children and parents. At Pennywell Early Years Centre, we take great care in making this transition a positive, reassuring experience for the whole family.
From the very beginning, our focus is on building strong, trusting relationships. Your child will be welcomed with warmth and care by our experienced team, and they will be assigned a dedicated key person who will support them every step of the way. This familiar adult will help your child settle in, build confidence, and feel safe and secure in their new environment.

🕊️Settling In at Their Own Pace
We offer a gentle, flexible settling-in process, tailored to the unique needs of each child.
We understand that every child is different, some settle quickly, while others may take more time, and that’s absolutely okay. We will work closely with you to ensure the transition feels right for your child and your family.
🌟Building Trust and Confidence
Our staff are skilled in helping children feel secure and confident. Through familiar routines, warm interactions, and lots of cuddles and smiles, we help children feel at home in their new environment. As their confidence grows, so too will their curiosity and readiness to learn and explore.
We keep communication open and ongoing, whether it’s a chat at drop-off and pick-up, or sharing updates through our Learning Journal app, you’ll always feel informed, included, and reassured about how your child is doing.
🤝Supporting the Whole Family
Starting nursery can be an emotional time for parents too. We’re here to support you just as much as your child. Our friendly team is always available to answer questions, offer advice, and listen with understanding. We truly value the partnership between home and nursery and believe that working closely together gives children the very best start.
At Pennywell, starting nursery isn’t just the beginning of a new chapter, it’s the start of a nurturing journey where your child will grow, discover, and thrive in a place they will come to love.
