- When a parent requires a place, they do several visits with the child and when I feel the child is ready they will stay on their own. I have a settling in policy and an inclusion policy to show how children and their parents are welcomed.
Also by assessing them and doing observations. When a child comes to leave, I prepare them beforehand and they know they can always keep in touch.
