Working in partnership with parents is central to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

Helping out during sessions, sharing interests or information about home life and taking part in discussions about our childcare service provide the opportunity for parents to find out about their children’s learning in the setting and for us to hear about their learning at home.

- Valued and respected
- Kept informed
- Consulted
- Involved
