We pride ourselves on our positive relationships with our parents/carers and believe that our daily verbal feedback and interaction with parents is key to working in partnership. However, we want to excel even further in this area so aim to encourage further parental involvement by:

• Inviting parents to learn more about us, our staff and how our nursery operates.
  
• Ask parents if they are interested in participating in your classroom.
  
• Do you have a special talent that they would like to share with the class? 
  
• Would you be interested in volunteering to help in an art project or read a story?
  
• Ask parents if there are any topics they would like to see incorporated into your curriculum.
  
• Once you are aware that you have a say in what is taught in the classroom, you may want to help shape what your child learns throughout the day. We will listen and respond positively to any ideas, concerns and views made by parents/carers.
• Create a care plan for each child.
  

• Use these care plans to outline your child’s individual progress, experiences, friendships and achievements to ensure you are always able to receive an up to date appraisal on how you child is doing.
• Make useful resources available to parents. These can be in relation to developing motor skills, language development, behaviour management and more. These resources can offer additional guidance that you can use at home to cultivate further skills and talents in your children.
• Recommend complementary activities that a parent and child can complete at home. These activities can extend our curriculum beyond the classroom setting and reinforce what we have been teaching.
• Reports - Parents/carers of all children will receive a monthly report to inform you of your child’s progress and what their next steps are so that you can be actively involved in their learning journey at every stage.
• Children will also have reports issued annually.
