Parental Consultations
26th February 2018
Vision, Values and Aims You will be aware that we recently carried out a review of our Vision, Values and Aims. We asked all of our stakeholders (parents, staff, children, friends, partner agencies) for their feedback on the content of our Vision, Values and Aims. We don't want these to just be words. They have to mean something and show our aspirations for our nursery. Please find attached our revised Mission, Vision, Values and Aims statement for your information. You can also find this up around the nursery, in our Prospectus and on our website. We would very much welcome your feedback and thoughts on this revised document.
Tempest Photographer
26th February 2018
I can’t believe that it is that time of year again! We have booked a photographer from Tempest to come to nursery on 29th and 30th March 2018. This will be an opportunity for your children to have their photographs professionally taken. You will be able to purchase these if you wish, through their sale or return policy. Tempest have an excellent reputation and are the main photographer used in most schools. More information will be sent home in due course.
Parental Consultation – Question of the month February 2018
26th February 2018
Each month we strive to self-evaluate our practice because we want to be a better nursery. We also need our parents to give us feedback. Our February 2018 question of the month comes from How Good Is Our Early Learning and Childcare and focuses on Quality Indicator 1.1: Leadership and Management. Our board will be changing shortly to show our March 2018 question of the month. We very much value your feedback.
