At Little Adventurers we recognise that as parents you are the expert on your child, so we want to do everything we can to work closely with you to ensure your child’s needs are met.
When you visit you will want to ask lots of questions so that you feel secure with the people who are being left to care for your child. We will ask you to tell us all about your child- their routines, their likes and dislikes, their favourite toys – anything that helps us to know and support them better.
We ask you to visit at least twice to familiarise your child with the nursery. This will be time for you and your child to get to know their new key person and to see what we do. When they start with us we encourage you to leave a familiar toy or comforter from home to help them settle and will keep you informed of their time with us.
Because evidence shows that the involvement of parents in their children’s learning results in longer-term benefits for the child and parent we want to involve you and keep you informed in all we do. We do this in a variety of ways including:
- Informal verbal feedback each session
- Communication books
- A learning journey of photos, pictures, observations and art masterpieces about your child
- Regular progress reviews
- Regular newsletters with ideas for games and activities that can be enjoyed at home
The office door is always open for you to chat to Ginny about anything too.
