Key Worker

Every child is assigned a key worker, the list of key workers and their children is up on the kitchen wall. Your child’s key worker is your first point of contact for any queries, particularly if you have any concerns about your child.

Learning Journals

Your key worker is responsible for keeping a Learning Journal for your child, which records their progress at Pre-School.  You can view your child’s learning online through a private account using Tapestry e-journal.

What To Expect

Your child will get a settling session prior to starting where they can grow familiar with the environment. If your child is under the age of 2 a parent or carer will be required to supervise during this settling session.

You will be introduced to your child's key worker who you will have meetings with to discuss your child's progress at the pre-school.

Once your child starts you will get a detailed handover at the end of each day explaining how their day has been.

What's needed in your child's bag?

We ask that your child brings the following to pre-school:

Every day:

- Nappies & Wipes (if required)

- Spare Clothes (weather appropriate)

- Lunchbox 

- Water Bottle

Seasonal:

In the summer please make sure your child has sun cream and hat in their bag.

In the winter please make sure your child has a coat, hat, gloves and wellies.
