The learning that has taken place within the family and community is recognised, valued and built upon within the nursery. We seek to work with parents/carers to form a partnership that supports not only the child’s learning and development but also the work of the nursery school and the community. Regular and effective communication will take place throughout the year.
We will:
- inform parents/carers regularly of events taking place in nursery
- exchange and share information about their child’s progress and achievements
- discuss any problems that may arise
- develop a professional relationship with parents/carers that reflects the ethos of tolerance and respect
- work together to create a rich learning environment where the learning experiences offered to children are of a high quality
- provide curricular information to enable parents/carers to support and extend their children’s learning

Visitors, especially parents and relatives of the pupils, are welcome to come into the school and see for themselves the opportunities Deanpark Nursery School offers children and their families. Education is a joint venture between children, staff and parents.
We actively encourage parents to participate in the learning environment e.g. with construction, model making, baking, storytelling, drama, music and also to facilitate outings.
Please share your talents with us!
We value parents as the first educators of your child and we encourage you to play a full and active role. We are always open to suggestions from parents of ways in which our services to them might be improved.
