Communication with Parents
At Machrie Nursery School we use a variety of methods to keep in touch:
- Group call
- Online learning
- Monthly newsletters
- Parent’s meetings – 6wks post-arrival, November and May
- Social functions – Christmas concert, Leaver’s Celebration, Sport’s Day.
- Meeting key workers when children arrive and are collected, and meeting more formally with staff if requested.
- Meet with the Team Leader or Head on request.
Home-school Learning Links
We aim to form good relations and communication links with our parents/carers. To aid this we use a variety of different methods to involve parents/carers in the life of the Nursery and to inform them of their child’s progress.
- Opportunities to ‘Stay & Play’ where parents/carers can stay to watch and learn how staff interact with children and develop their learning through a variety of experiences.
- Opportunities to accompany your child’s group and keyworker on learning expeditions around the local community.
- Questionnaires at various times throughout the year requesting either specific information on certain areas of Nursery life, or a general inquiry regarding how you think we can improve.
- Parent/Carers Noticeboard detailing up-to-date information and local initiatives.
- A ‘Comments Book’ is held in reception to allow parents/carers to quickly comment on any aspect of the nursery, complimentary or otherwise.
