Keeping you Informed

We know how important it is for you to know while your child is up to while at childcare. So we have many ways to keep in touch with you:

Term Observations

Each term you will receive 3 observations of your child which links to the Early Years Learning Framework. At this time we also encourage feedback on how you feel your child is going and how we can help encourage their learning.

StoryPark

Educators post updates around your child’s learning and experiences where possible. Our priority is to be with the children and actively supervising rather than posting photos. Educators are allocated time off the floor throughout the week to post stories to families. In our Gumnuts and Busy Bilbies, educators generally provide a lunchtime update and sleep time update. Other rooms are encouraged to discuss with their children directly and to speak to educators at handover about how their day went (including meals and sleep).

Storypark is also a great way to keep up to date with what is happening in the service. The Director may post updates around children’s health and safety, events and other important notifications relating to your child’s education and care with us.

Parent Interview Nights

Held once a year, these give you the opportunity to discuss your child’s development with their primary carer. You can hear about how they are doing, as well as negotiate outcomes for the following year.

General updates

We also keep you up-to-date with information about the centre, upcoming events and fundraising, via the notice boards at the front entrance, parent pockets in the foyer, our storypark and Xap apps, along with our social media pages (Facebook/Instagram)
