Working in partnerships is an integral part of our approach to quality experiences for children. Our first and most important partnership is with children’s most important educators – their parents/carers! We believe that children benefit most from early years care, learning and play when, parents/ carers and settings work together in partnership.

Your child’s key person will piece together your child’s learning journey in the form of their very own personal development file, which builds a thorough picture of your child’s stage of learning and development through observations, photos and communications from nursery, you and any other professionals spending time with your child.  It is very important for you to share that extra special knowledge you have about your child and help make everything we do all that more special and tailored for your child’s individual needs.

We hold termly parents evenings, providing quality time for parents/ carers to catch up with their child’s key person and learn about their child’s development. During the evening your child’s personal development file will be to hand for discussion and you will receive a progress summary report for your child.

We work in very close partnership with Our Lady of Walsingham Catholic Primary School and are very lucky to have planned access to their excellent facilities including their art, music and IT rooms, hall, playing field and wildlife area. Working in partnership with the school allows for a consistent and smooth transition from nursery to school and helps children in the out of school club to feel more confident and secure. This will lead to better experiences and outcomes for all children within the nursery and school.

Other partnerships include working with Northamptonshire County Council early years advisory team, social services and other agencies involved with the growth and development of children, local childminders and other early years settings. It is particularly important for us to work in partnership with other early years settings and childminders when children are attending more than one setting. Information sharing is essential to provide consistent, quality and complimentary care and learning for the child.
