Progress and stimulating your Children

Playmates Children’s Day Nursery recognises parents as the first and most important educators of their children.  Playmates staff see themselves as partners working alongside parents in providing individual care and education the child. There are many ways in which we like parents to take part in making the nursery a welcoming and stimulating place for children and parents, such as:

  • exchanging knowledge about their children's needs, activities, interests and progress with the staff;
  • helping at sessions of the nursery;
  • sharing their own special interests with the children;
  • helping to provide, make and look after the equipment and materials used in the children's play activities;
  • becoming a parent representative
  • taking part in events and informal discussions about the activities and curriculum provided by the nursery;
  • joining in community activities in which the nursery takes part;
  • create friendships with other parents in the nursery.
  • providing help on trips and days out
  • becoming a parent representative for the nursery

Playmates Children’s Day Nursery and parents work in partnership.

Your child's record of achievement helps us to celebrate their achievements and to work together to provide what your child needs for her or his well-being and to make further progress. Your child's key person will work with you to keep this record. To do this you and she or he will collect information about your child's needs, activities, interests and achievements. This information will enable the key worker to identify your child's stage of progress. You and the key worker will then decide on how to help your child to move on to the next stage.

Playmates Children’s Day Nursery staff and parents work together according to nursery policies and all parents have the opportunity to take part in their annual review. This review helps us to make sure that the policies are enabling the nursery to provide a quality service for its members and the local community. The nursery’s policies help us to make sure that the service provided by ourselves is a high quality one and that being a member of the nursery is an enjoyable and beneficial experience for each child and her/his parents. As part of the nursery’s policy to make sure that its provision meets the needs of each individual child, we take account of any special needs that a child may have. The nursery works to the requirements of the 1993 Education Act and The Special Educational Needs Code of Practice (2000). Nursery policies are available for parents to see at any time.
