Starting nursery, or even returning after a break, is a big milestone for young children and their families. It can bring a mix of excitement, pride, and sometimes a few wobbles along the way.  

 

At Wellies Day Nursery, we understand that parents want to know how to help their child feel happy and secure at drop-off. One of the most effective ways to do this is through consistent routines. 

 

With autumn now here, another change is approaching: the clocks go back on 26th October. For many families, this seasonal shift can affect bedtime, naps, and daily rhythms. With World Mental Health Day taking place on 10th October, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how small steps, like strong routines and calm transitions, can support both children’s and parents’ wellbeing. 

In this blog, we’ll share tips on helping your child settle into nursery, managing separation anxiety, and keeping routines smooth when the clocks change. 

September is Baby Safety Month. 

A time dedicated to raising awareness about protecting our little ones as they grow, play, and explore. At Wellies Day Nursery, safety is not just a focus for one month; it’s woven into our daily routines, our environment, and our staff culture all year round. 

We know that parents entrust us with their most precious treasures, and that trust is built on knowing we keep children safe in every way possible, physically, emotionally, and developmentally. 

 

Here’s how we make safety a top priority at Wellies.
