  • We kindly ask parents not to send sweets with their children to Lentilka.
  • The most important part of starting nursery is the settling-in period. It usually takes place daily for at least one week, and its length is always adapted to the individual needs of the child.We typically begin with shorter stays, for example 1–2 hours, and gradually extend the time spent in nursery to a full morning, depending on how the child feels and adjusts in the new environment.We keep parents regularly informed about how their child is coping with the settling-in process, how they are engaging with the group, and what is helping them during this period. Together, we set a sensitive and individual approach to ensure the transition is as calm, natural, and stress-free as possible. More information about the settling-in process can be found below.

Settling-in period

The settling-in period is an important step in a child’s transition into a new environment. At Lentilka, we dedicate maximum care, calm, and an individual approach to ensure it takes place as naturally as possible, without unnecessary stress.

How settling-in works

We always adapt the settling-in process to each individual child. Every child is different – some settle in very quickly, while others need more time and gradual familiarisation.

Our goal is for the child to develop a sense of safety, trust, and confidence in the new environment, as well as in their relationships with educators and other children.

Due to our small group size, the settling-in period takes place without the presence of parents, which supports a calm and natural integration into the peer group.

The first days

The first days are short and gradual. The child slowly becomes familiar with the new environment, daily routine, and group.

The length of stay is gradually extended according to how the child feels. We respect each child’s individual pace and never put pressure on quick progress.

The role of parents

Parents are a key source of support during the settling-in period.

We recommend:

  • speaking about nursery in a positive and calm way
  • avoiding uncertainty during drop-off
  • keeping goodbyes short, confident, and reassuring
  • trusting the process and the educators

Our aim is to create an environment where parents feel confident that their child is well cared for.

What helps children

The settling-in process is supported by:

  • a favourite comfort toy from home
  • a regular daily routine
  • sufficient rest
  • a positive and calm attitude from parents

Our philosophy

We believe that settling-in is not a performance, but a process. There is no right or wrong pace – only the individual pace of each child.

Our goal is for every child at Lentilka to feel safe and to look forward to coming back to us with joy.
