Partnership with Parents
As parents you are the first educators of your children. We believe in a close partnership with parents and staff as we join you in educating your child.
We want to work closely with you. Good communication between staff and parents enables us to inform each other of relevant matters concerning your child. We appreciate being informed of any change at home that might affect your child and will treat anything you tell us in strict confidence.
We want to inform parents about the activities and learning situations that your child will be experiencing. Theme plans and plans for activities that are continuously available are displayed in the entrance area of the nursery. Please take time to read these, as they will inform you of the range of activities available to your child and help you to discuss with them the things they are learning during their nursery sessions.
We provide many varied activities and find that real things such as unwanted small saucepans, old telephones, clocks, toys, games, jigsaws which children have grown out of, to name but a few, bring alive children’s play. Please consult us before you throw anything away - we may be able to use it.
We hold parents’ evening each year when you will be invited to discuss your child’s progress. However, there is no need to wait for this if you have questions or concerns. We want you to feel welcome at the nursery and will always have time for you.
