After your place at Briary Pre-School and it has been confirmed we will then arrange a home visit that will take place at your home and usually last about 30 minutes. In this visit the Pre-School manager or deputy and your child's key person will come to visit you and your son or daughter, to help complete and go through the registration paperwork. We have found that home visits help your child to become familiar with their key person before they start to attend the setting which helps with the settling in periods. 

 

At the home visit you will be given:

 

• A parent welcome pack and our prospectus. This includes information about the Pre-School such as our term dates, policies, fees, our daily routine, funded hours and much more.

 

• A parent's guide to the EYFS, our curriculum and the Early Years Foundation Stage

 

• The EYFS starting points and an ‘All About Me’ questionnaire which includes questions that will help the key person find out more about you child, such as toileting and any likes or dislikes they have.

 

• A registration form which will need to be filled out at the visit. You will need any contact numbers you wish to put down for emergencies, your child's birth certificate and their health development  record. (red book)

​

• Our 'Home Box' shoe box that you can decorate with you child. This will be kept at the Pre-School and could include any comforters your child has,  photos of your family and any favourite books or toys. A sheet is included in your pack 'All in a shoe box'. 

 

 

Once the home visit is finished we will then be able to arrange a settling session at the Pre-School. They usually last for an hour and we do not charge for these sessions, however every child is different and depending on how your child reacts to the setting will affect how long they stay with us and how many settling sessions they will need. If you have any questions about the home visits or the settling sessions then please do not hesitate to contact us.

We hope to see you soon.
