Parents as partners policy

Parents as partners

 

Aim of policy

 

To give clear guidance on how we value and recognise Parents as the first educators and as our partners in supporting and nurturing the children.

 

Points to consider

 

Through this policy and the appointment of professional staff, we aim to make parents/carers feel comfortable in our nurseries and that the staff team are friendly, approachable and attentive to their needs and the needs of their children.

7.      Ensuring that all Parents/carers are provided with the opportunity to actively participate in all aspects of the nursery. Where appropriate this will, include the review and implementation of policies and delivery of services to their children.
