Parents as partners
We understand that:
parents are children’s first and most enduring educators. When parents and practitioners work together in early years settings, the results have a positive impact on children’s development and learning.
We aim to:
create a welcoming atmosphere with approachable staff.
ensure that effective communication means there is a two-way flow of information, knowledge and expertise between parents and practitioners.
use posters, pictures and other resources to show our setting's positive attitudes to disability, and to ethnic, cultural and social diversity.
We believe that:
parents and practitioners have a lot to learn from each other. This can help them to support and extend children's learning and development.
