IN ASSOCIATION WITH
Positive Steps Children's Nurseries, Sevenoaks
Settling your baby into a new nursery can be an
anxious experience. 'Positive Steps has been
caring for children for almost 14 years and has
recently opened its eighth nursery in Sevenoaks.
Positive Steps has successfully settled thousands
of children into its nurseries and can offer some
very helpful advice and re-assurance for parents
who are about to go through this experience for
the first time.
Spending time around other children with
'will enable your child to form friendships, build
confidence and the skills for taking turns and
sharing. Having time away and being looked after
by a trusted person will also prepare you both
for the first time that you leave your child at
nursery.
At Positive Steps, the team believes in
creating a home-from-home environment. Its
Positive Start settling in programme, based on
the latest research in child development, offers
a bespoke programme, tailored to the needs of
each individual child. The experienced staff are
all fully trained and equipped to help your child
settle in as quickly as possible. Your ‘key person’
will start to build that bond from the very first visit
with your child, and will gather all the key
information needed so that the transition runs as
smoothly as possible.
Whilst your child is at nursery, they will be
offered fantastic opportunities and have lots of
fun. From exploring ‘messy’ activities to playing
outside in the all-weather play area, developing
IT skills, joining in with a super-exciting range of
educational programmes, or even having a cuddle
with a story in the soft area.
To help you gain the re-assurance that your
child will be settled in your absence, the nurseries
even offer a room in which you can watch your
child via CCTV. You can also telephone the
nursery as many times as you like to see how

your child is getting on and its open-door policy
means you can come into the nursery whenever
you fancy.
