Some children do not feel secure straight away within a new environment, and they may find it difficult to separate from their parent when they arrive each day, but once the parent has left the nursery, the child settles well. Our staff members give each family a verbal handover when they collect their children from nursery and this information is supported through the Parent App. During this daily conversation there is an opportunity for staff to tell parents what their child has been up to and for parents to ask any further questions. The way the nursery plans for children's learning has recently been improved so generic learning plans are no longer emailed out to all parents each week and, instead, parents have access to their individual child's learning plan. Elm Park Nursery is currently undergoing a major refurbishment and we are excited for parents to see the nursery environments as each area is completed. Full completion is expected by the end of September 2024.
