Parental Involvement
It is very important that the children in our care feel happy and secure with us.
Your needs as a parent/carer are important too.
In order to make you feel welcome and a part of the Nursery we: -
- Have a parent/carer notice board located in the Nursery, it has the Nursery Policies and relevant Information to keep you up to date with life at the Jays.
- Have a daily activity board detailing what your child has been doing that day.
- Regularly sent out letters and newsletters.
- Have a 'Celebration Book' for each child that gives a record of his/her time at The Jays. It has photo's of your child's work, observations and other information. You can ask to see this at any time and add to it with any information you wish to put in. It will be given to you to keep when your child leaves The Jays.
- Ask you to sign your child in and deliver them to a member of staff to ensure they are accounted for on the register and to talk to staff about any relevant issues that we may need to be aware of i.e. bad night so may be tired etc.
- Ask you to sign your child out and talk to staff about how your child has been during the course of the day.
- Encourage new parents to help settle their child into the Nursery. Please discuss this with the Principal who will be able to help you decide how best manage this.
- May ask if you wish to take part in a relevant activity session if you have any skills or interests that could be shared with the children.
- Have a parents evening for older children.
- Have a suggestion box in the main children's cloakroom for any ideas, suggestions or concerns you may have should you feel unable to speak to someone.
