We believe that children will benefit most from pre-school when we work in partnership with parents.  Parents are the first and most important educators of their young children. The aim of the pre-school is to support parents in their essential role. We will:
 

• Involve parents in shared record keeping about their own child, both formally and informally, ensuring that parents have access to their child’s developmental records.

​

• Ensure that parents are given information on a regular basis about their child's progress and have an opportunity to discuss it with their child’s key person.

 

• Ensure that parents are given information about the pre-school and the pre-school curriculum.
   

• Ensure that all parents have opportunities to contribute their own skills, knowledge and interests to the activities of the pre-school.
   

• Ensure that all new parents are aware of and can contribute to the pre-school's systems and policies.
   

• Ensure that all parents are fully informed about appropriate meetings

 

• Arrange meetings so that no-one is regularly excluded.
   

• Arrange meetings in venues that are accessible and appropriate for all.
   

• Welcome the contributions of parents, whatever form these may take.
   

• Make known to all parents the systems for registering queries, complaints or suggestions.
   

• Provide opportunities for parents to learn about the pre-school curriculum.
   

• Seek the views and suggestions of parents.
