Parents are regarded as members of our setting, whom have full participatory rights.

- Valued and respected
- Kept informed
- Consulted
- Involved
Parents and carers play a vital role in nurturing a positive and enriching Early Years setting. Establishing open communication with the team creates a collaborative partnership essential for a child’s development. Actively participating in parent-key worker meetings fosters understanding and alignment between home and the Early Years environment.
At home, parents and carers act as extensions of the learning environment by reinforcing educational activities, encouraging curiosity, and promoting language development. Involvement in at-home learning experiences, such as reading, creative play, and exploration, complements the Early Years curriculum, enhancing a child’s overall growth.
Contributions extend beyond academics; volunteering time or skills demonstrates a shared commitment to the community, fostering a sense of belonging. Consistent routines at home provide stability, aiding a child’s seamless transition between home and Early Years setting. Ultimately, the supportive engagement of parents and carers is integral to creating a nurturing, cooperative, and holistic foundation for a child’s Early Years education.
