Parents

Our setting recognises parents / carers as the first and most important educators of their children. All of the staff see themselves as partners with you in providing care and education for your child. There are many ways in which parents take part in making the setting a welcoming and stimulating place for children and parents, such as:

• exchanging knowledge about their children's needs, activities, interests and progress with the staff;
• helping at sessions of the setting;
• sharing their own special interests with the children;
• helping to provide, make and look after the equipment and materials used in the children's play activities;
• being part of the management of the setting;
• taking part in events and informal discussions about the activities and curriculum provided by the setting;
• joining in community activities in which the setting takes part; and
• building friendships with other parents in the setting.

 
Helping at the session enables parents to see what the day-to-day life of the setting is like and to join in helping the children to get the best out of their activities.

​Parents can offer to take part in a session by sharing their own interests and skills with the children.We welcome parents to drop into the setting to see it at work or to speak with the staff.

Evidence for Learning

We record children’s learning using Evidence for Learning. This is a EYFS programme which enables Parents to view their learning journey, comment on their learning and send us those special moments that are captured at home.
