Partnership with parents
Research shows that involving parents and carers in their children’s learning is the most important factor in enabling some children to do well regardless of background. Working in partnership with parents and carers is central to the early years foundation stage (EYFS).
We believe that children benefit the most when parents and staff work together in partnership to ensure quality care and learning for the children. The nursery team welcomes parents as partners and this relationship needs to be built on trust and understanding.
At The London British Nursery relationships with 'Our Families' matter, and is one of our core key values. Through effective partnerships and strong communication, we unite our early years expertise with our family's expert knowledge of their children; to strive for the very best outcomes for all children.
Within our nurseries, our families take
pride in being involved in their
children learning.
We often share with our families: photos, videos, pieces of work, and descriptions of what activities their child took part in. It is important that we, as carers, are able to support parents in an open and sensitive manner. A two-way sharing of information is key to this. We believe that an open access policy is the best way of encouraging participation.
'Our People' use these requests as an opportunity to strengthen relationships with families, further learning more about each child and the best way to enhance their learning and development.
Our parent partnerships work better when information is shared and communicated via both parties. Your observation of your child at home is helpful to share with us during your settling in sessions. This is so that we can adapt and provide what it is that is needed to bring comfort and confidence to your little one.
