How to Share Information :

Every child between 3 months and 4 years has a personal diary, in which key staff will record details of the child’s time at nursery and this can also be used by parents to record any activities or observations from home, as well as any messages to key staff.

 

We help parents keep up to date with their child’s learning journey through termly Newsletters, monthly Topic Letters and weekly Bulletins.

 

Parents are encouraged to respond to, and participate in all areas of their child’s learning and daily timetables for the rooms are available to view online.

 

We ask parents to be proactive in sharing information and observations made by them at home which are then incorporated into the their child’s learning journal and used to plan their child’s next steps along with observations made at nursery. Each week a wow moments form is sent by email to all parents encouraging this sharing of information. This helps to maintain that vital link between home and nursery.
