Imagine the scene: A gorgeous Monday morning in Chandlers Ford. A child, three years old, holds his mother's hand, eyes wide. Staring at the colourful building with the sounds of happy chatter and play coming from inside. Instead of tears, he looked up at her with a cheeky smile and said, "That's my nursery". This is not a film, but the nurseries in Chandlers Ford offer this. If you are trying to figure out how to swap first-day nerves for confident excitement, Dragonflies Childcare helps you look at how to write your child a story to set the scene.

Laying the Foundation: Early Social and Emotional Skills

The narrative of the first day starts long before you leave home. The social and emotional abilities of children are the core building blocks. They uniquely enable nurseries in Chandlers Ford to function seamlessly. You can think of this in the same way as a workout for a muscle.

For instance, when two children play with each other, they are not only opening the door to play, but also opening the context and time. When they both reach for the same object, they come up with an agreement. In this scenario, they learn to be patient. Taking turns and managing frustration is what they learn.

Familiarising Your Child with Their New Environment

The unknown can cause fear and anxiety. Nurseries in Chandlers Ford create a familiar marker in your child's landscape, i.e., your nursery.

For instance, every Saturday morning after a child bought the groceries at the local supermarket, he and his dad took the "long way" home, which included walking by the nursery. "There's your nursery. Look, that’s where you’ll get to paint and play in the sandpit," his dad would say. Every week, they waved at the building and made it a positive thing to look for. When they went to the open day, he was not walking into an unfamiliar building; he was walking into "his" nursery.

Establishing a Smooth and Secure Drop-Off Routine

The drop-off is the pinnacle of your morning story. How you approach it will set your child’s tone for the rest of his/her day.

Example: It was the first day for a child, and she knew the plan. She smiled, and all the while she was squeezing her heart. However, she followed through and stayed strong. She didn't linger at the window or sneak back inside when she heard others. She had already followed the story that they wrote together.
