PARTNERSHIP WITH PARENTS

Partnership with Parents

Parental Involvement

Quarterly newsletters are issued to parents familiarising them with the curriculum, current and planned themes and what our plans and news are. We also have a Facebook page, and a Parents committee. All parents are invited to enjoy festive celebrations, parties and to participate in our Sports Day. Parents are invited each term to discuss their child's progress. We encourage a collaborative approach and parental engagement.

Feedback

We pride ourselves on our positive relationships with our parents/carers. We believe that our daily verbal feedback and interaction with parents is the key to working in partnership. Our younger groups have daily diaries, which go home every night, and parents are encouraged to respond. Diaries can be extended to pre-school children if parents do not collect their child personally.

Reports

Each child has an online learning journal account set up when they start at Mulberry Bush. Parents are sent an email to set up a password to be able to access their child’s account. 

Baby Room – Children have a daily diary online that is updated each day that they attend nursery. The diary consists of what your child has eaten, slept, nappy changes and activities they have participated in throughout the day.

Each child has a profile of learning which maintains a record of each individual child’s progress through the nursery with copies of their All about me, developmental milestones and art work. The same profile takes a child from the baby unit right through to Adventurers. Parents/carers are welcome to view these profiles at any time. Your child will be given their profile when they leave Mulberry Bush at Graduation.
