Aims

In recognising the parent as the prime educator we will endeavour to involve you in all aspects of the centre life.

We aim to:-
Create an atmosphere where everyone feels valued.
Develop positive, meaningful relationships.
Provide regular opportunities to discuss children’s progress.
Keep parents/ carers informed and, where appropriate, consult with them about the centre.
Be sensitive and responsive to individual needs.
Provide appropriate opportunities/activities within the parent’s room.

Throughout the academic year parents/ carers will have opportunities to speak to their child’s keyworker through chats, care and learning reviews and progress meetings. Parents are also encouraged to discuss their child’s progress on a daily basis with the child’s keyworker. The centre staff support the whole family whenever it is required.

Workshops and Stay and Play sessions are organised  for parents throughout the year.

We value the support given to us by parents and recognise them as the prime educator of the child.  We welcome parents/ carers sharing knowledge, skills, achievements through discussions, visits to the centre, email, Learning Journals, Twitter etc. At certain points throughout the year the nursery will also seek to gather parents/ carers views more formally through questionnaires, focus groups etc. Parents/ Carers will be kept updated and involved in their children’s learning through: Twitter, Newsletters, SWAY’s, Monthly Phone calls, Profiles, Personal Learning Plans, Personal Care Plans.
