Working Together
Before starting Stratford Manor Nursery, members of our nursery visit will conduct a home visit to meet you and your child so that there is a friendly face that they will recognise when they start with us. Your child will also attend a settling in session to become familiar with their environment before starting fully. Each child is different – some settle more quickly than others but we will always work together in ensuring the smoothest start for your child.
