Inductions / Settling in period
Trinity Corner Nursery arranges inductions for all children that are designed around your needs and the child's individual needs. Our settling in period is different for every child so we will arrange as many introductory visits as are needed for children until they become settled and familiar with our nursery.
Our Key Person system
Your child will be allocated a key person who will develop a special relationship with your child, settle your child into nursery and support your child on a daily basis. Your child’s key person will give you regular information and meet with you to discuss your child's progress on a regular basis through review meetings and our parent’s evenings. We believe that relationships between our staff and children are very special and recognise every child's individuality, religions, beliefs, achievements, and efforts and we work towards this at all time so all our children receive the best attention to meet their own individual needs, and receive love and care at nursery like they would at home.

Termly news letters are sent home to keep our parents up-to-date with events new policies and general information.

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage and your child will have a learning journal to show their progress throughout the nursery, with a range of observations, progressing and photographs which show the exciting things and fun which your child has had throughout their time at nursery. The staff plan carefully and put a lot of preparation into following the Early Years Foundation Stage to ensure your child has the best start to life, including reflecting on the different way children learn and reflect these in their practice. There are three characteristics of effective teaching and learning these are: playing and exploring, active learning, Creating and thinking critically. We recognise each child as an individual, we observe children in the nursery environment indoors and outdoors during planned activities or even through play so we can plan for their future using next steps and progressing and give children the best to meets their individual needs and interests.
