On the first day that you bring your child you will be welcomed by your keyworker and you will be asked to stay with your child for an hour so that the introduction is a gentle one. We will have some forms for you to fill in while your child can play and familiarise themselves with the new surroundings and faces. As the days pass you will have the opportunity to leave your child in the care of his/her keyworker for increasingly longer periods of time and your child’s hours of attendance will lengthen. There is no set formula or time span for this as all children react differently to separating from their parents or carers.
