Parental Involvement

Your Views Matter!
Everyone’s opinion is valued and we are keen to keep improving our nursery to create the best possible learning environment for all. We are always keen to hear your feedback and will gather your views using a variety of approaches such as questionnaires, our suggestions box and parents meetings.

Home & School Partnerships
We strive to work closely with parents and carers. You are your child’s first and best education, and we recognise the value of partnership working and seek ways to fully involve you in the education of your child. We have a Twitter page please join and keep up to date! If you have any issues or concerns please speak to a member of staff.

Lending Resources
We have a range of resources that are available for borrowing including books from our Story Club and Science Discovery Bags. Please ensure you supervise your child when using the resources.

Learning Journeys
Throughout your child’s time at nursery, staff will record and document your child’s learning and progress at nursery. Staff will highlight children’s learning across a Curriculum for Excellence. We are very keen to include information about your child’s learning and achievements out with the nursery and will ask you to help with this.

Newsletters
We send home monthly newsletters which provide information about special events/ news in the nursery. Learning Block packs will keep you up to date with the learning your child will experience

Stay and Play Sessions
Throughout the year we will offer ‘stay and play’ sessions. These sessions allow the parents to play alongside their child in the playroom providing first-hand experience of how learning is organised and how children learn in the nursery. Please ask a member of staff if you would like to attend one of these sessions.

Sharing your Skills & Expertise
We are always keen to hear from parents and carers who would like to share their skills and expertise. If you would like to be involved in the nursery please let us know. We
are always keen for parents to help with our garden and with organising our lending resources, please let us know if you are willing?

Working Together to Promote Positive Behaviour
Our aim is to help children develop and extend the good habits and behaviour patterns already established at home. We wish to promote Co-operation, self-respect, self-discipline and respect for others and their property. Parents will be consulted about any problems that may arise concerning their child and it is hoped that both staff and parents will work as a team for the benefit of the child. Staff can also give you information on other agencies that can support you and your child.

Working Together to Support Learning
We will liaise with parents and carers from the time of enrolment to share information about your child and family that will help us to understand and communicate with your child and to plan for his/her needs.

Learning blocks
We will share what your child is learning in nursery, at the start of each Learning Block we will send home a pack that provides information on ways that you can become involved and support your child’s learning at home.
We encourage parents and carers to share ideas & information. Please talk to the staff about any suggestions or concerns that you may have about the learning opportunities for your child.

Learning Journals
Please take time to look at your child’s Learning Journal and discuss contents with them. If you wish you to add to learning journeys please do so contribute please do so.
