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 phone calls, chats, care and learning reviews, monthly phone check ins 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.

The centre has a Family Support Worker who is responsible for supporting our families in the centre and local community. A list of
activities is available for parents and includes cookery classes, a sewing group, Bookbug sessions and a Parent & Toddler group. Feel free to come along to any of these or offer suggestions. We are always looking for new ideas!
