At Clentry Nursery we value parents and carers as their child’s first educators and ensure they are key partners in supporting their child’s learning. We prioritise the formation and development of warm and positive relationships with parents and carers, and work closely alongside them to ensure that we get it right for every child and family. Throughout all of our interactions with parents and carers, we strive to demonstrate respect, understanding and empathy to ensure that our relationships are built on trust.
Parents and carers know and understand their child best and we value their contributions to all aspects of nursery life. We provide a variety of opportunities for parents and carers to become involved in the life and work of our setting, through gathering regular feedback and encouraging involvement in improvement planning and decision making.
We support and encourage parental engagement in children’s learning and value the positive impact that this has. We strive to work in partnership with parents and carers to ensure that we work in partnership to review learning and development through looking back/looking forward meetings and the regular review of Personal Learning Journals.
Family learning encourages family members to learn together as a family and enable parents/carers to learn how to support their children’s learning. We offer a range of family learning opportunities including 'Explore and Learn with me' sessions, Achievement cafes and Bookbug. Through partnerships with FareShare and The Big Hoose, we also offer a wide range of food and household goods to our families to help with the cost of living.
