3 tips for starting nursery with confidence!
Starting any new adventure can be nerve-wracking for toddlers. Get your little learner excited to take this big step with our top tips for parents:
Pack a friend. It’s natural for little ones to feel a little nervous about starting nursery school. Tucking a familiar plush toy or comforter into their bag can help soothe them on their first days.
Talk to them. Don’t underestimate the power of talking about starting nursery. In the days and weeks leading up to their first day, talk to your child about what to expect and get them excited to make new friends and play fun games.
Personalise your tot’s belongings. Personalising your child’s backpack and other essentials not only makes them special but also makes sure they won’t get mixed up with other kids’ belongings. Why not add a personal touch to your little one’s nursery items with our personalisation service?
We hope you have a great school year!
