At Little Hubbers Nursery we recognise and support parents as their child’s first and most important educators, and to welcome them into the life of the nursery.

Our aim is to develop an honest, open and supportive relationship with you which complement life in your home.

We are very aware of our influence as role models for your child and without your extensive knowledge of your child we would not be able to enhance your child’s development.  Nursery staff are always available to discuss your child and their development.

FAMLY app. Keeping parents updated on the day to day running of the nursery and their child’s activities, including meals, nappy changes, sleep times, etc.

Key Person.  As part of this developing relationship with the setting your child will be allocated a key person, this will enable you to have a direct member of staff to talk to and put forward any questions or concerns you may have.

Parent questionnaires.  Handed out yearly, inviting parents to give their honest opinion about the service we provide and an opportunity to share their comments and ideas for improvement.

Coffee Mornings. This is an opportunity to meet with your child’s key person. During this time you will be able to see the progress your child is making though their own personal learning journey, which includes observations made by staff, photo evidence and work products.

Careful Staff Deployment. The staff employed at the nursery, have a range of experience. The nursery manager is careful to consider the staff’s strengths when deploying them. Parents are made aware of who is looking after their children throughout the day and how the management team is made up.

Home Link Books. The nursery provides a home link book for each child. They add in suggestions for activities to complete at home, in line with the nursery planning. The books are then sent home and the parents are encouraged to complete them over a weekend period. This gives staff an insight into the children’s home life and provides opportunities for the parents to take part in their child’s learning.

I Can Do or my ‘WOW’ Board. There is a board in the hallway for parents to share information about what their child can do. Information can be in the form of photographs, post it notes, certificates etc. Likewise we also have a children’s board where they can pin all their special WOW moments from the day. ie, drawing, picture’s, crafts.

Support. Staff at nursery have been chosen for their friendly and approachable manner. They will do their utmost to offer parents their support where necessary.
