Settling in Sessions
Once a place has been confirmed, we will contact you to arrange a home visit for your child to meet us and their key worker in their own environment, along with three settling-in sessions prior to your child's start date.

This will be an opportunity for parents and children to meet their key worker, discuss their preferences, individual needs and for children to explore their new surroundings.
