Our Special Relationship with Parents

We encourage participation by parents in nursery life. We believe it is important that staff and parents work in partnership to foster the development of children in our care, by achieving this we can ensure that each child?s needs can be met, promoting an extension of knowledge and understanding on an individual level.

Once your child starts attending any of our settings, you are welcome to visit the nursery at anytime. In addition, you would strongly recommend that you join us for parent evenings, Christmas concerts etc, which are arranged throughout the year. These form a critical part of your child early years development and give you a formal setting to celebrate your child?s achievements. You may also like to join us for Open Days, special events and social events

At Toybox Day Nursery we understand that parents play a crucial role in shaping their children's personalities and development. Therefore, if we were to encounter any difficulties with your child, we will draw these to your attention, working with you to find a suitable solution

P        We publish regular newsletters

P        We write to you about special outings or visits we are planning.

P        We hold parents evenings twice a year, enabling you to have a longer discussion with the staff about your child?s development.

P        We prepare regular written progress reports on your child, which are shared with you.

As a parent/carer this reassures you that we know your child is unique, that everyday is different - feelings and daily life change, and our awareness is vital to ensure stability, security and the enjoyment of learning.  Linking home to nursery learning broadens children?s own interests and builds on their existing knowledge which fosters their self esteem and self worth.

Parent's evenings are organised and time given to allow you to view and discuss your child's welfare with their key person.

A parent/carers information board is situated in the entrance hall and this along with regular newsletters and e-mails will help you keep up to date with nursery activities.

Through daily contact we hope to promote a sense of belonging to you as a family.

Remember the welfare of your child is paramount.
