   Working in partnership with parents
We believe that children benefit most from early years care and education when parents and everyone at Millfield Nursery School work together in partnership. We endeavour to make our partnership with parents a valuable one by working to the following aims:

During nursery hours we aim to be constantly available to parents/carers. All staff members liaise regularly with parents regarding their children.

We inform all parents about how the nursery is run and our policies through access to written information and through regular informal communication.

The child information form allows a parent to put down any information specifically related to their child.

Regular communication with parents in the form of letters and a periodic newsletter, keep them up to date with all relevant information concerning the nursery. Notices are also placed on a board where all parents have the opportunity to read relevant information relating to them and their child. We hold a parents evening twice each year enabling parents of children aged 3½ and above the opportunity to discuss their child's achievements and progress at the nursery, and share development records. Parents are always welcome to access and/or contribute to their child's development records at any time.

We are receptive to reasonable requests and have a very positive attitude to all parents/carers.

Parents are informed of any accident/incident that has happened to their child and are similarly informed if and when the child has been administered medicine. Details of accidents/incidents and administered medicines are recorded appropriately and brought to the attention of the parent when the child is collected on that day.

Parents are not asked to fund raise for the nursery, considering that they pay fees for the sessions their child attends and this is sufficient. We do give parents the opportunity to become involved in charitable fund raising - i.e. 'Children in need' should they wish to so.

We welcome parents to contribute their own skills, knowledge and interests to the activities of the setting if they wish to be involved.

The settling in process is according to our advice and the parents'/carers wishes, so that children increase their session times gradually.

In the unlikely event of children not settling in, we suggest parents/carers delay starting their child for a further six months, to allow them to be a little older and to experience a fresh start.
