KEY PERSON<\/strong><\/p>\n

All children have a key person who supports each child, giving them the reassurance to feel safe and cared for during their time at Pre-School.  Each Key Person builds relationships with their children\u2019s parents\/carers and works in partnership with them to support the child\u2019s development. The key person creates a development file for each child that consists of photographs, observations and summaries of development which they take upon leaving Pre-School.<\/p>\n

Development summaries are shared termly with parents\/carers and folders are shared with parents at information evenings and can be viewed at any time, upon request.<\/p>\n

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

We do our very best to make families feel happy and welcome here. We work in partnership with parents\/carers to ensure we offer the best support for children, by helping each child feel confident and secure within the group.  <\/p>\n

As parents, you are your children\u2019s first teachers, and the early years are the ones in which children learn more quickly than at any other time in their lives. We encourage you to talk with us about any anxieties you or your children may have, however minor. A little worry can seem enormous to a young child! With your help we can get to know your children really well, and learn how best to support them.<\/p>\n

We welcome parents\/carers to our stay and play sessions where they can join their child at Pre-School for various activities! We liaise regularly with parents\/carers and value their input.<\/p>\n

Children at Pre-School follow a child-centred curriculum called the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Our curriculum is adaptable to support the needs of the children we have in setting.<\/p>\n

Our local community has changed over recent years and although we are moving positively away from the Covid 19 pandemic it is evident the impact it has had on the children and their families within this period.<\/p>\n

Families have had less opportunities during lockdown to attend social\/group events for parents and children, along with an increase in the time spent on social media. This has had an impact on the children\u2019s speech and language development as well as their social interaction skills and lived experiences.<\/p>\n
