At Milngavie ELC, we are very keen to make our parents feel as welcome in our nursery, as our children.  You are partners in your children’s learning and we want this to be reflected in the opportunities you have to take part in the life of our nursery.

We have scheduled Stay and Play sessions and also a new intiative – Families Connect , where Lynn will be providing some really fun learning activities for parents and children to share.  We have Tea and Talk sessions, where parents can access advice on aspects of child development and positive parenting.  Julie, our family champion, has years of experience and is mum to two sons – so she is the perfect person to chat to, if you need a wee bit of support or advice.

We also have a Parents Focus group where we invite parents to come in and have a cuppa with us, and give their advice and opinions on aspects of the service we provide.  In the past we have had invaluable advice from parents on a wide range of issues,  and have had help reviewing our policies and our Vision, Values and Aims for our centre.  We hope to continue this over this coming year and would be very grateful if you would get involved, to help us make sure our nursery is what our parents and children want, and get.  We realise that not everyone will be able to come in to nursery – our parents have many commitments and not everyone wants to participate.  We will therefore be putting out a nursery questionnaire to canvas your opinions and ideas about our service and the experience your child has at our nursery.

We are always interested in hearing parents opinions – if there is something we could improve on, or if there is something we have done well, it is always possible to leave a comment on the blog or Facebook page.  Or if you prefer, you can tell us when you are in dropping off or picking up your wee one.  You can phone us on 0141-955-2253 or email our Depute Head of Centre, Caroline at CMcMenemy@milngavie.e-dunbarton.sch.uk
