Working Together for Your Child
Parents and carers know their children better than anyone.
We believe that strong partnerships between home and nursery help children feel secure, understood and supported. By sharing information, experiences and ideas, we can work together to give each child the strongest possible start.
Partnership Starts With Listening
We want to know what matters to your child.
Their interests, new experiences, family relationships, achievements and the things they enjoy at home all help us build a fuller picture of who they are.
We welcome conversations, feedback and contributions from families throughout their time at The Children’s House.
Keeping You Connected
Regular communication helps provide continuity between nursery and home.
Your child’s Key Person will share information about their day, interests and experiences, while giving you opportunities to tell us about anything happening at home that may be important to your child.
For our youngest children, communication can also include information about everyday care routines.
Sharing Learning & Progress
Our practitioners observe children naturally as they play, explore and interact.
These observations help us understand their interests, achievements and development and inform the experiences we provide next.
Your child’s learning record can include observations, photographs and examples of their work, and contributions from home are always welcome.
The existing website calls this record the child’s “Special Book” and describes it as a learning journal shared with parents.
The Progress Check at Age Two
When a child is aged between two and three, the EYFS requires practitioners to review their progress and provide parents or carers with a short written summary focused particularly on the prime areas of development.
The review provides an opportunity to recognise progress, discuss development together and identify where any additional support may be helpful.
Time to Talk
Alongside everyday conversations, we provide opportunities for families to discuss their child’s development in more detail.
You are also welcome to speak with your child’s Key Person or arrange a conversation whenever there is something you would like to discuss.
Part of a Wider Community
Supporting children also means working positively with the people and services around them.
The Children’s House has historically developed links with local schools, other settings, community organisations and professionals supporting children and families.
