WE BELIEVE IN WORKING TOGETHER
Successful cooperation between parents and staff is highly valued at Cleverclogs, and important because it impacts your child’s experiences and opportunities whilst at nursery.
This is why we encourage a culture of cooperation, continuous exchange between parents and staff and joint planning of parties, events and excursions.
Our current initiatives are:
- Staff/parent/carer meetings:
Regular meetings are held at Cleverclogs Nursery, offering parents the opportunity to discuss the nursery operations, ideas for improvement and how the Nursery can continue in progress. We have nominated representatives of senior staff who liaise with the parents and communicate on their behalf if appropriate. This is also an opportunity for parents to sit 1:1 with their child’s key worker to discuss their child’s development, preview a report and contribute to future planning ideas. They are also offered tea and cakes, cheese and wine.
- Stay and play days:
Throughout the year, Cleverclogs Nursery holds stay and play days. These activities are designed and organised by jointly by staff and parents/carers to help parents/carers get involved with their child’s development, and for both to share ideas and thoughts. We also invite our parents on our swimming sessions and outings which are all fun-filled events and enjoyed by parents, staff and children.
- Home visits (if requested by parents):
These are offered at the start of your child’s introductory period as a way to introduce the key person and spend some time with your child in their familiar environment. We also offer home visits as a way to support families through transition periods for their child such as toilet training, new additions to the family, move of house and changes to your child’s routine.
We look forward to welcoming new ideas on events and how we can encourage more parent participation in the Nursery. Please feel free to contact Geri Nicholson if you have any comments or initiatives you would like to share with us.
