A NURSERY school has started a new buddy system to help support parents of new children.
In the pioneering scheme Leapfrog Nurseries, at St Andrews Ridge, Abbey Meads, is pairing up parents who have registered their under-fives for childcare with similar parents whose children have already settled in.
Staff hope the initiative will help parents who may find it stressful when their child starts day nursery.
Leapfrog Nursery already encourages parents to bring their children in when they first look around the school.
Parents are invited to stay with their children when they start nursery to help ease their children into the new routine.
