Parents
Parents often like the care of a home based environment, which larger nurseries cannot always provide. However as we are a small nursery registered for 36 children maximum
We work in partnership with parents to help their child to learn and develop.
We feel it is important that parents are involved as much as possible therefore we welcome you to join us and spend time at the nursery.
When your child has their settling in sessions, this will be a valuable opportunity for you to get to know their key person. You can sit down for a chat and share as much information as possible about your child’s individual needs.
We are committed to keeping you informed and to building a strong, working relationship so we can work in partnership with you.
Parents are invited for regular meetings, events, coffee mornings open days.
