All parents/carers are actively encouraged to participate in the day to day running of the group and to work in partnership with staff to support their child’s development and learning. Observations are carried out by members of staff and findings recorded from this information enables staff to accurately assess each child and transfer these to your child’s e-learning profile. These observations also help our practitioners support your child’s learning through our environment and to plan taught activities to further develop your child’s learning. Parent’s/carer will be able to log on to see their child’s progress though the learning journals app.

 

At the end of Term 1 we will have a stay and play session where parents and carers will be invited into playgroup to stay for an hour and discuss how your child is settling and be able to speak with staff on your child’s progress

Within Term 2 we issue a “Tracking report” covering your child’s progress in areas of the curriculum.  When the “Tracking reports”” are prepared we will send home your child’s paper learning journal together with a copy of the report.  If you wish, your child’s keyworker will phone you to discuss the contents of the tracking report and to discuss your child’s development.

 

Within Term 3 we will hold another stay and play session for parents and carers to attend.

 

At the beginning of June End of Term Reports will also be issued to all of the children. One copy must be signed and returned to playgroup the other copy is for your own records.

 

We remind parents that the playgroup operates and is proud of their “Open Door” policy.  All parents/carers are encouraged to speak to their child’s keyworker at anytime about their child’s progress or about any concerns or worries they have regarding any aspect of their child’s development or to arrange a time to look at their child’s Learning Folder or work.  We encourage our partnership with parents at all times especially during the settling period.
