At WRAP Nursery, we’ve had the privilege of guiding many children through their early years, and this summer, we’re proudly sending off another group of confident, capable preschoolers ready to start school. Based on our experience, here are some practical ways you can help your child feel ready for this next chapter.

Returning to work after having a baby can feel like stepping into an entirely new role, especially as often it comes hot on the heels of rediscovering yourself as a new parent. It can be a whirlwind of emotions, from anxiety to excitement. After having my first child, I found myself rushing between nursery drop-offs and meetings, then trying to work from home while facing endless piles of laundry and chores. It was tough to focus on anything, and I often felt guilty from being so far away from my baby.

We know starting nursery can be an emotional experience for both parents and children. In this article, our Baby Room Lead, Danielle shares her top tips to help make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible.

This week we had the pleasure of welcoming dentists and hygienists from Brunswick Dental Practice and Dental Spa to our nursery as part of our celebration of World Smile Day. The children absolutely loved their visit and learned some fantastic tips and tricks for keeping their smiles bright and healthy. We wanted to share a few key takeaways with you, so you can continue these healthy habits at home.

We understand how important sleep is for your little one's growth and development and that safe sleeping practices are a top priority for parents. That’s why we’ve created a warm, secure environment that promotes healthy sleep habits, while ensuring every child’s safety is at the heart of what we do. Whether your child is napping at home or with us, we’re here to support you with some helpful tips for safe sleep...

Change is a natural part of life, especially in the early years. Whether it’s starting nursery, welcoming a new sibling or moving to a new home! These important changes can significantly impact a young child’s emotional and developmental well-being.

At WRAP Nursery, we strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment where every child can thrive. One of the challenges we often encounter is biting—a common behaviour in young children that can cause concern for both parents and carers. Understanding why children bite and how to address this behaviour effectively can help alleviate worries and promote a positive atmosphere at home and in all settings.
