What Parents Ask at Nursery Admission Time

27th October 2025 The Manthan School

Starting nursery is a big moment for both your child and you!
It might feel exciting one day, emotional the next, and yes… a bit overwhelming too. That’s completely normal. As a parent, you want to be sure that your little one is going to a place that is safe, happy, and caring.

At The Manthan School, we meet many parents who are asking the same questions you may have right now:

Will my child be safe here?
Will the teachers be kind and loving?
Will my child enjoy learning and make friends?

These are the right questions to ask. So, to help you feel more confident during your school visits, we’ve put together this simple guide. Whether you’re visiting us or looking at other schools, keep these key points in mind.

Why Nursery Is So Important

Nursery is not just about learning ABCs or 123s. Honestly, it’s much more than that. It’s your child’s first step into the outside world where they are going to meet new people, try new things, and learn to start how to be independent.

In nursery, children usually learn to:

Speak and listen
Share and take turns
Build confidence
Play and explore
Express their feelings

At The Manthan School, we create a space where all this learning happens in a fun, loving, and safe environment.

What to Look for in a Nursery School

Here are some important things to notice when choosing a nursery:

1. Safety Comes First

When you walk into a school, notice yourself:

Are the gates secure?
Are there cameras or staff keeping an eye on the children?
Are the classrooms neat and child-friendly?

Children should be free to play and learn without worry. We make sure every corner of the school is safe and welcoming.

2. Kind and Friendly Teachers

Teachers play a big role in your child’s life. Watch how they speak to children:

Do they smile?
Do they talk gently?

These small things show love and care. A genuinely warm teacher can make even a shy child feel happy and safe. At Manthan, all of our teachers are trained to care for each child with patience and kindness.

3. Fun and Meaningful Learning

Nursery is not just about books. Ask them how they teach in school:

Do they have play-based learning?
Do they read stories, sing songs, or do creative activities?
Do they engage children in asking questions?

A good nursery helps children want to learn. We mix fun with learning so children enjoy every day at school.

4. Play Is Essential

Play doesn’t only mean to have fun but it actually helps in your child’s development! Make sure the school has:

A fun and colorful play space
Safe toys and equipment
Time for both indoor and outdoor play

At Manthan, we believe play is a powerful learning tool and we prioritize time for children to play, imagine, and create.

5. Helping Children Grow Emotionally

Learning how to talk about feelings, make friends, and handle small problems is a big part of nursery. Ask:

Do teachers help children share and take turns?
Are children encouraged to say how they feel?
Is kindness taught in the classroom?

At The Manthan School, we care about children’s hearts as much as their minds. We want our students to be kind, confident, and caring from the very beginning.

6. Open Communication with Parents

As a parent, you’d like to be involved in your child’s day even when you’re not present there. Ask the school:

Will I get regular updates about my child’s progress?
Can I speak to the teachers easily if I have questions?

A good school builds a strong partnership with parents. We share regular updates, pictures, and feedback so that you’re always aware of your child’s progress and we also encourage parents to be a part of special events, celebrations, and the overall school journey.

You Can Always Ask Questions

Choosing the right nursery is a big decision but we totally understand that! As the best play school in Noida, We welcome parents to come, see the classrooms, talk to teachers, and ask anything they want. No question is too small when it’s about your child.

So, whether you’re still looking or ready to enrol, remember:
Go with a school where your child will feel safe, loved, and excited to learn.

We hope The Manthan School feels like that place for you.

We’d love to meet you and your little one soon!
