Our aims
- To make parents welcome and offer opportunities for exchange of knowledge, expertise and information between parents, staff and children.
- To recognise and respect the fact that parents are a central factor in their children’s progress.
- To encourage parents to take an active part in the daily life of the nursery.
We will work in partnership with parents to offer a service built on trust and respect. We will ask for your views in order to improve the service offered, and we are always happy to hear your comments and suggestions.
Working with you
We recognise you, the parent/carer, as your child’s prime educator and we will work closely with you to develop links in learning between home and nursery.
The length of the nursery day means all staff work in shifts. This means that your keyworker may not always be available when you bring your child or alternatively when you collect him/her. Information may then be relayed either through another member of staff or the office or you may wish to arrange a meeting at another suitable time if your keyworker is not available.
We welcome your interest and participation in the activities going on in the nursery and would also welcome any ideas or suggestions you have to enhance the service we provide. We operate an ‘open door policy’ where a member of our leadership team will be available to answer your queries where possible.
Working together to promote positive behaviour
We aim to work together to promote an atmosphere of sharing, caring and friendship. Encouraging acceptable behaviour and mutual respect is part of our curriculum. Co-operating, sharing, taking turns are just some of the things we encourage the children to do to increase their social skills.
Of course, our children do not always wish to comply with our requests or the demands of other children, and incidents do arise which require the key worker to intercede in a situation in order to restore order and calm. Your keyworker knows the nursery policy on behaviour management and will be pleased to discuss this with you.
