Review Day is on Thursday 12th March

The purpose of our Review Day system is to ensure that all parents are kept fully up to date with their children’s development and learning in nursery. It is also an important chance for us to learn from you about your child’s development at home. Together, we will then plan to support your child’s development and learning through our planning system.

What to expect

Your key person will make an arrangement to see you on Thursday (if you have an extended day/year place the appointment may be on another day). You will have a chance to look at the most recent observations and assessment of your child and talk about then with your key person. Your key person will discuss what sort of help, experiences and activities will help your child to keep learning and developing.

If you have any worries or concerns about your child, the meeting is a good time to raise these. Remember that as a Children’s Centre we can arrange for you to see the Clinical Child Psychologist or the Speech and Language Therapist – so just ask if you have any concerns about your child’s speech, language, behaviour, sleeping or feeding routines, or emotional development. If your child is learning English as an additional language we have an excellent booklet which Antonella has just written as part of her work towards a degree in Early Childhood Studies.

Arrangements:

Children with extended day/year places attend as normal.

Nursery is closed for children with a core day place (9am-3.30pm) although they do have a crèche place during the meeting only.

World Book Day

We had a really successful World Book Day celebration on Thursday – thank you to the many parents and carers who helped out with the trip to Borders. We are planning to take all the children who missed out on separate trips to the shop. We really need parents to support this, so please contact Michele if you can help.
