Family Partnerships

How will I know how my child is getting on?

We are committed to creating open, welcoming nurseries where families feel involved, listened to and valued.

From your first visit, we take time to get to know your child as an individual. Through settling sessions, “All About Me” information, conversations with your Key Person and regular communication, we build a detailed understanding of your child’s routines, interests, strengths and personality.

Our partnership continues throughout your child’s time with us.

Your child’s Key Person will share achievements, observations and next steps, while regularly discussing progress and development with you. Parents are encouraged to contribute to Learning Journeys, share experiences from home and work alongside us in supporting their child’s learning.

Our approach includes:

  • Daily conversations with your child’s Key Person
  • Learning Journey contributions
  • Parent sharing meetings
  • Stay and play sessions
  • Family events and celebrations
  • Opportunities to provide feedback and help shape nursery life
  • Practical support and guidance when families need it

Children do best when the adults around them work together. We build that relationship from your first visit and keep it going every day your child is with us.

What does Ofsted say?

“The manager and staff work extremely well with parents, it is a real strength of the setting… Parents share how they feel highly involved in their children’s nursery and their views and opinions are truly valued by the staff team.”
