Communication

We have an Open Door Policy

Parents are welcomed into our nursery and clubs at any time. We will always make time to speak to you at the end of your child’s day with us, although we may need to be aware in advance if you want to have a chat so that we can ensure correct staffing levels for the other children. You can also call the nursery and select the appropriate option to speak to your child’s room leader or key worker at any time.

Our most effective form of communication between home and nursery is ‘Tapestry’, a secure online journal where we can record your child’s experiences, play, learning and development throughout their day, and share them with you. This may be a photo or video, or a diary entry.

You can access your child’s development record, and other documents such as accident and injury forms on here, and we will also share key bits of information with you on here. Parents can also share information with the nursery and upload comments and media this way. It is an excellent way to capture key moments and record milestones, and is completely secure, only you can view your child’s account.

Staff at After School Club will be happy to speak to you at any time. We pass on information from school such as accident forms and reminders and occasionally share communication books between home, school and club.

Between the hours of 3pm and 6pm, and all day whilst our Holiday Club is running, you can contact us on our Clubs phone number: 07930 658154.
