PARENT PARTNERSHIP

Children, Families and Teachers

When you arrive at Nursery to drop off your child you will be welcomed by one of our teachers who will greet you and your child by name and a big warm smile, which to us is probably the most important action in nursery life, helping the child’s start to the day and reassuring yourself before you leave.

Parents need to know as much about their child’s day at nursery as possible and our staff endeavour to inform parents of their child’s activities and achievements as much as possible at the start and close of the day and through home school diaries. The diary contains a brief outline of the activities of the day, mealtimes, feed times and amounts for the babies and sleep times where necessary.  This is particularly important for children who stay all day in nursery.

We aim to work together towards the common goal of providing your child with the best possible care and start in life

We encourage a great deal of participation with parents in nursery life and are always keen to discuss the development of your child, to respond to your concerns or simply to share the details of your child’s day.  We also invite you to share in circle time or an activity if you feel you would like to do this.

The lasting benefit of parental involvement in a child’s development and pre-school education is now clearly supported by academic research, as well as providing a lot of pleasure for parents/carers and their children.

To ensure you are updated with all developments we send out monthly newsletter and there is also a communication board for parents in the entrance hall where you can read about various curriculum activities, news, observe the menus and any upcoming special events, when dropping off and picking up your child.
