Partnership Working in Turriff Cluster

One part of our improvement plan this year at Turriff Nursery was to improve our partnerships with other ELC settings in the Turriff Cluster, this included other partner providers in the area.

EYLP’s and managers met to discuss what we wanted from this, the answer was the same from all, to get to know each other to form better working relationships and share good working practices.

Recently, Monquhitter Nursery hosted our first cluster meeting; Children’s Rights was on the Agenda. It was great to see how different settings implemented UNCRC and everyone took back ideas to share in their own settings.

Monquhitter Nursery also invited EYP’s from the cluster to look at their nursery, chat and share documentation; this happened over two evenings so everyone had a chance to attend.

We hope to continue in this way and dates have been organised for Turriff Playgroup to facilitate the next meetup.
