Preparing for Nursery

To support a smooth and happy start to nursery school, we have created the following plan:

Welcome pack…

Prior to your child joining Miss Daisy’s you will receive a Welcome Pack containing information about life at Miss Daisy’s. Included is information about our curriculum, our day to day structure and offering, and valuable advice on how to prepare your child for nursery school. At this point, you will also receive access to ‘Famly’ which is our online app for parent communication and learning journals.

Meet the team and your classmates…

At the start of the term that your child joins their new nursery school, you will be invited to attend a meeting with their Key Teacher. Please do bring your child as it is a wonderful opportunity for them to meet the whole team and some of their future friends. This also forms part of our settling-in process and allows them familiarise themselves with their new environment, helping to support a smooth transition to nursery life.

Your child’s first day…

Every child’s first day is different. At Miss Daisy’s Nursery Schools, it is our aim for your child to have a wonderful first experience of life at school. Our Teachers are highly experienced and have welcome hundreds of children over the years. Please do trust us to ensure that your precious one will be carefully introduced to their new routine in a warm and nurturing environment.

On their first day, we encourage just a short stay so that they are eager to return! For those who may find the separation a little more challenging, this may be extended over their first week or two. All we would ask of you is that you work with us to ensure that they settle as quickly as possible. Please rest assured that if your child is struggling to settle, the team will give you a call.

Younger children can now join us...

Dear visitor,

Did you know, we will be accepting children under two, for the first time at some of our nursery schools?

After the success of our Daisy Buds music and movement sessions, from September 2025, we will be accepting ‘Rising 2s’ in our dedicated spaces at Miss Daisy’s Belgravia, Brook Green and Knightsbridge.

A ‘Rising 2’ is a child who turns two within the term they start, so your little could join us at one of these nursery schools from around 20 months old!
