| Partnership with Parents Parents are the most important people in a child's life. They are the child's first teachers, they know more about their child than anyone else, and they have watched and cared for their child from their first day of life. We understand how vital it is that our staff establishes and maintainsa strong links with parents. In order to build such a partnership, we; |
| Consult with each other to plan routines and activities based around your child's needs Give you regular feedback; both formal and informal Keep daily records of your child's activities and share them with you Give your child a gentle introduction to nursery and pre-school, suggesting that you stay until your child is settled and secure Provide information to you on health issues, behaviour management, toilet training, weaning or any other topical issues Post weekly menus on our parental notice board and discuss at registration if your child has any special dietary requirements We invite nominations for parental representation on our Board of Management. |
