Parents as Partners
Working in partnerships with parents, carers and families is central to the early years foundation stage and is pinnacle to our ethos at The Barn, ensuring best outcomes for children regardless of background.
Our key principle to working in partnerships with parents is built on a foundation of mutual trust, parental involvement in their child’s learning, shared expectations and ensuring our parents are kept up to date with working practices and their child’s progress.
From the initial visit, induction, settling sessions, daily chats, ‘teamwork makes the dream work’ next steps communication, information workshops through to timetabled parents as partners sessions across the setting, we ensure our families are involved in every step of their child’s learning journey.
