Immunisation and school enrolment
Recommendations for enrolling children in preschool
Preparing your child for nursery and group childcare.
Starting preschool is an important change for a child and their family. A health and vaccination status check is recommended before joining a group setting.
Parents should tell nursery staff about their child's allergies, chronic conditions, treatment or additional needs.
A gradual settling-in period, regular sleep, a balanced diet and clear communication with nursery staff help children adjust to their new surroundings.
