Working with others

Positive partnerships between parents, practitioners and other agencies can enhance learning and development. We recognise the importance of working together to improve outcomes for all children.

We welcome all contributions from parents, sharing of interests and their culture, taking part in discussions about children’s learning, in the setting and at home.

We build relationships with families, keep them updated with their child's development and progress and respond to observations that they share. We involve them in assessments and support them to guide their child's development.

We are currently taking part in a self evaluation framework known as 'The Bristol Standard.' This focuses on a whole team approach and encourages self reflection to improve the quality and effectiveness of our provision.

We our members of the National Day Nurseries Association, a charity, specialising in Early Years. This supports us with developing highly skilled individuals across both of our nurseries and keeps us up to date with policies and practices.

We practise good food hygiene at all times to make sure the food we produce is healthy, nutritious and safe. We continue to receive 5* in our food hygiene inspections.

We have taken part in the Eat Out Eat Well Award scheme to promote nutrition and increase healthier food choices for consumers.

The Foundation for Infant Loss are committed to providing first class education in Infant Loss and Bereavement. They offer studies and training to raise awareness of this topic. We are proud to say we are accredited members of this association.

We are proud to have achieved the Millie’s Mark award, which is an exceptional achievement as it shows that we are going above and beyond the minimum requirements in keeping children safe
