We aim to work in partnership with parents by listening and responding to their views and concerns and respecting them as their child’s first educators.

We want to facilitate the sharing and discussion of their child’s development, achievements and progress. We will achieve this through daily feedback, sharing learning journeys, parent’s evenings, breakfast club and inviting parents as ‘helpers’ or to share skills or occupations with the child’s room.

We aim to offer support and advice to families and signpost them to other professionals or services that may be able to offer them additional support should this be required.

We will provide an environment that supports and extends all families and children’s learning and development, including families with English as additional language and Special Educational Needs.

We aim for staff to carry out our vision by meeting all the requirements set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage.

We will ensure best practice and quality of care by continuously evaluating our practice through the Ofsted self-evaluation, staff observations and continual action plans.

We will hold regular team meetings and in house training and development sessions.

We will develop individual training plans for staff which support qualification and continuous professional development and satisfaction.

We will ensure staff are fully up to date on the latest advice and guidance for childcare, such as safeguarding, behaviour management and health and safety.

We will operate an ‘open door’ policy whereby any member of staff feels comfortable to offer suggestions, initiatives or to discuss any concerns.

We will ensure staff feel valued, supported and enthused in what they do.
