Settling-in Policy
About this document
Your policy for helping new children settle: pre-start visits, gathering information, a step-by-step settling plan, parents staying, children who find it hard, babies, children with SEND or EAL, and children returning after a long break. It includes an “All about me” form, a settling-in plan and record, and review and feedback forms.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
