RELATIONSHIPS
We know our children need to feel happy and secure. Relationships are key in achieving this goal.
We start right at the beginning by developing relationships with parents and carers. We invite them in to tour the setting and meet staff. We ask them to share important information about their child. Next, we focus on key workers developing positive relationships with children, having really listened to what families have shared with us.
Simple tips like having the child’s family photograph displayed on the family wall and on their coat peg can make a big difference. We also stagger start dates and times so that children are given time and space to explore on their first day.
