Promoting Family Partnership

Building & maintaining positive relationships with parents

Melanie Pearce, Director

Positive Parent Partnerships

“Parents are ‘children’s first and most enduring educators’ building positive partnerships with our children’s parents is important to us so from the initial first meeting, we seek to work co-operatively by learning about the individual requirements of each child.”

Our framework for effective family partnerships

Parent involvement in our early education programme can extend the experiences that a child has in nursery to real-world activities that happen in the home. A parent who understands what their child is learning and achieving at nursery has a better sense of their child’s competency and which areas they need to work on to improve confidence and ability.

Some of a child’s most important cognitive development happens during their early years. By taking an active role in the early childhood education process, parents can help ensure that their child has all the support they need to develop to their full potential.

Working together, we will support your child to develop a positive sense of self and a healthy enthusiasm towards learning and discovery throughout the first informative years.
Our online parent portal gives secure access to your child’s learning and development progress at any time. This has transformed how our parents interact with their child’s early learning experience and makes the process quicker and simpler for their Educators.
Parents are involved in activities both at nursery and at your home.
Parents are encouraged to talk with their child’s Key Person on a regular basis, sharing feedback, discussing your child’s interests, your child’s learning journal, and any planned projects or activities.
We have a Facebook page and Instagram account which are regularly updated with our news and developments.
At home learning packs are available to take home.
Established parent nursery association meetings are held quarterly.
