A free guide for parents preparing for nursery or adjusting after their baby starts childcare. It gives parents and caregivers a practical way to record the sleep that actually happened, share familiar settling cues, and plan the evening after a short-nap day. The handoff example and simple nap-record table can be used during a settling-in conversation.
This is an English-language educational website, using US “daycare” terminology, rather than a local nursery or clinical service. Local care policies and the family's health professional remain the authority for their own situation.
