Settling in visits

At St George’s, we recognise the importance of parents and guardians as primary carers. So before your child joins us, your Senior Childcare Leader will call to arrange settling in visits. This gives you and your child the chance to get to know the staff and ask lots of questions, and for us to find out how to meet their individual needs.

We also offer home visits, should you wish to invite your child’s Key Person and Room Senior Childcare Leader to come to your home. This will give your child another chance to meet us and for us to get to know them in a relaxed home environment. Working together to settle your child at St George’s will help them to really enjoy their time with us

Your child’s Profile

During your settling-in visits, you will be introduced to your child’s Key Person. Every child has a designated adult who builds a close, supportive relationship with them, helping to create strong links between St George’s and home.

Your child’s Key Person will get to know them really well and will use Blossom, our online platform, to record their development. You can read and contribute to your child’s profile at any time. Alongside observations of their learning and progress, you will find photos, videos and other special moments.

When your child leaves St George’s, you will be able to download their full profile as a memento of their time with us.
