Working in Partnership with Parents

Parents are regarded as members of our setting who have full participatory rights. These include a right to be:

  • valued and respected;

  • kept informed;

  • consulted;

  • involved; and

  • Included at all levels.


As an independent setting, we depend on the good will of parents and their involvement to keep going. Membership of the setting carries expectations on parents for their support and commitment.


Our Commitment to parents is that: We aim to ensure that each child:

  • is in a safe and stimulating environment;

  • is given generous care and attention, because of our ratio of qualified staff to children, as well as volunteer parent helpers;

  • has the chance to join with other children and adults to live, play, work and learn together;

  • has a personal key person who makes sure each child makes satisfying progress;

  • is in a setting that sees parents as partners in helping each child to learn and develop; and

  • is in a setting in which parents help to shape the service it offers.
