Settling-In Policy |
|
- Upon offering a child a place in our nursery, we expect parents and carers to help the nursery settle the child by spending a little more time in the nursery. The following is recommended:
- First day - One hour with parents/carers familiarizing themselves with the nursery
- Second day - One hour with parents/carers sitting separately in the nursery.
|
|
Homework Policy |
|
- In aiming to provide a total development and learning culture, Kerridale would always send children home with homework. It is expected that our parents being partners in our children’s development would support their child with their homework.
- All parents and carers are expected to fill out a Homework Agreement Contract which must be handed in before a child begins at the nursery. Full details of homework frequency and expectation can be found on the Parent Information Board
|

School Wear Policy |
|
- Children aged 2 and above are expected to wear the provided school uniform on the indicated days.

|
Payment of Fees |
|
- A registration fee will be charged for each child on first registering with the nursery.
- Parents are advised to pay their children’s fees before resumption date, to avoid children being sent home. This would usually happen two weeks into resumption.

All other policies are available upon request. |
