Parents as partners

We place great emphasis on developing a positive relationship to work in partnership with you as your child’s most important educarer, based on trust, mutual respect, open communication and shared, informed decision making.

To further support this, we have developed a dedicated ‘Parent’s Portal ‘ on our website to provide you with a wide range of information including the curriculum, how we nurture children’s learning, ways you can support your child’s learning, fun play and learning ideas to try, health and wellbeing, national standards and much more.

Will my child have a keyworker?

Nurturing relationships and parents as partners are key to a child’s development therefore your child will be assigned a ‘key worker’ shortly before or soon after starting.

Your key worker will take the lead for providing responsive care, following your child’s care routines and will support you to complete a care plan (within enrolment form) to enable us to meet your child’s individual needs.

Your keyworker will take a special interest in your child, really getting attuned to their needs and interests, to enable them to nurture their all-round development and well-being. They will plan experiences based on your child’s needs, interests and stage of development and will report on your child’s progress, efforts and achievements and be on hand with advice and support for you and your child.

Our staff team works closely together, sharing observations and information on all children, supporting continuity of care and ensuring play and learning needs are met. Should your key worker be absent, you will still see a team member at the beginning and end of the day who knows how your child is doing and will respond to questions or concerns you may have.
