Working Partnership

It is very important to us that all children feel safe and secure whilst at nursery.

It is therefore important for us to have good working relationships with you as

their parents.

Together we are here to make your child’s time at school an enjoyable, challenging

and stimulating experience.

Page 4: Nursery Early Years Curriculum Meeting Welcome to

Working Partnership

Therefore, we aim to establish secure relationships with each child in our

care through Key Workers.

Each child has a key worker, who will be available for you to speak to;

either at the beginning or at the end of each session on alternate days.

If you are unsure of who your key worker is please do not hesitate to ask.

Our Early Years Foundation Stage at St Joseph’s

• Development Matters in the Early Years Foundation Stage

- Prime areas of learning - Specific areas of learning

• We aim to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum based on the children’s interests.

- We do this through observations of the children, play based learning opportunities and differentiated learning tasks supported by an adult in the setting.

• We build a profile of every child’s learning journey that starts in nursery and goes with the children to reception.

- These will be available for you to look at during parents consultations.

Library Service • Children will borrow books from the book corner

• Library service will take place once a week on a Thursday starting after half term.

• To encourage children’s love for reading- We suggest that you use this book to read to your child, share it

and enjoy it together. - We will record the date and the title in your ‘Reading Diary’ - please use this space to encourage your child to draw a picture

about the story and as they progress through the year this could develop into writing words related to the stories they choose.

- We will be sharing and celebrating your child’s effort in this book and award a stamp for every time your child records in their reading diary.

• Books will only be changed if you return them on Thursday.

Sharing WOW Moments!

We would like you to share with us any ‘WOW’ moments you have with your child.

These can include:

Trips to parks

Visits to zoos, farms, museums

Brushing their teeth

Looking after a pet

But most importantly these should include learning moments!

We will be celebrating your efforts and the children’s learning that takes place beyond nursery. These will be displayed in our new notice board in the nursery garden.
