Parents/Carers Resources
We at Tarbiyah Nurseries believe that children benefit most from early years education and care when parents or carers and settlings liaise together in partnership. Our aim is to support parents or carers as their child’s first and most important educators by involving them in their child’s learning and education throughout their journey at Tarbiyah Nurseries.
‘All settings should develop effective partnerships with parents in order to enhance the learning and development of the children with whom they work. We are all learners from birth and it is usually our parents who first give us the confidence and motivation to explore the world around us and who continue to keep us learning and stretching the boundaries of our understanding. Parents are very interested in their children’s progress from baby to child and beyond. Early years practitioners are also interested in children’s progress. Parents and practitioners thus share a joint interest in, and responsibility for, children’s development and learning. Both parents and practitioners are key people in building children’s self-esteem and dispositions to learn, although they bring different perspectives and expertise. Parents are experts on their own child; practitioners are experts on children’s learning and development. Children usually feel more confident and positive about themselves and their learning when parents and practitioners work together in an atmosphere of mutual respect.’

At Tarbiyah Nurseries we aim to support parents and carers to help their children settle quickly and easily by giving consideration to the individual needs and circumstances of every child and their families. Our aim is for children to feel safe, stimulated and happy in the nursery and to feel secure and comfortable with all staff. We also want parents to have confidence in both their children’s continued well- being and their role as active partners, with the child being able to benefit from what the nursery has to offer.
We believe that children settle best when they have a key person to relate to, who knows them and their parents well, and who can meet their individual needs. Research shows that a key person approach benefits the child, the parents, the staff and the setting by providing secure relationships in which children thrive, parents have confidence, our staff are committed and the setting is a happy and dedicated place to attend or work in.
The key person role is set out in the Safeguarding and Welfare Requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Each child must have a key person. These procedures set out a model for developing a key person approach that promotes effective and positive relationships for children.
