Partnerships with Parents
We believe that it is extremely important to have excellent partnerships with the parents/guardians of the children in our care. We believe we achieve this by using the following means:
-
Face to Face Contact - We are happy to talk to parents about any concerns they have regarding their child when they come to drop off or pick up.
-
Telephone/Email Contact - It may be more suitable to discuss any issues over the telephone or email when parents have more time or when little ears are elsewhere! We are happy for parents to contact us after working hours. (Please be aware we may be busy with our own children between 7pm-8pm)
-
Daily Diaries (0-5s) - Each child has a learning diary which is a book for both your child's keyworker and parents to write in. We enter information each day about the child's mood, activities, meals, sleep, toilet habits and we also include any lightbulb learning moments! It is very useful if parents also write in the learning diary to provide us with any important information. This is especially important if the child attends another setting e.g. it is helpful to know what a child is learning at Nursery so that we can reinforce it during their time with us.
-
Observations for Learning (0-5s) - With the permission of the parent we observe children's learning whilst they are with us. We take photographs which show the child's learning and keep them together in individual learning assessment books. These are always available for the parent to see and are theirs to take away when the child leaves my care. We have found that parents are very impressed by these books and are pleased to have a photographic record of their child's learning.
-
Our Website - This provides parents with information about future events and shows vacancies for both childminding and evening babysitting.
