Starting nursery with boots and bar - how does it work?

My daughter starts nursery at 11 months and she's still in 23-hour bracing. How does nursery work with the brace? Do they keep it on? Take it off for activities?

The nursery hasn't had a child in boots and bar before. I want to explain everything properly. Any tips?

I wrote a "Clubfoot Care Plan" for nursery with:
- What boots and bar are and why
- How to check it's on correctly
- What to do if boots come off
- When to call us
- Photos showing correct positioning

Staff were brilliant once they understood. They said it was the most helpful medical info they'd ever received! Daughter kept brace on for all activities.

Our nursery was nervous too. I went in for 30 min training with the manager - showed them how to check boots, what to look for, when to call.

Completely fine after that. Kids are resilient and staff deal with all sorts.

Tip: label EVERYTHING. Boots, bar, socks, sleepsuit. Nurseries are black holes for baby stuff 😂

my childminder was nervous too but after a week said she didn't even think about it. the other kids accepted it as normal!

one of the toddlers called it "magic boots" and now all the kids say that 😂💙
