Supporting Your Child At Home

Working Together

As parents and carers we recognise and acknowledge the importance of your support and input. Here at Rainbows we regard you as members of our setting, who have full participatory rights including the right to be valued and respected, to be involved, consulted, kept informed and included at all levels.

As you are the first and most important educators of your child, we consider ourselves partners in providing care and education. There are many ways in which you can take part in your child’s learning experience;

• Exchanging knowledge about their child’s needs, activities, interests and progress

• Contributing to learning journeys with stories, pictures and observations from home

• Commenting on learning on the blog

• Attending Stay and Play session where possible

Creating a warm and friendly environment enables children to flourish and provides an opportunity to observe positive relationships between their families, staff and other children.

Here are some useful documents and resources to help you support your child at home:
