It's important to stay in touch

Open communication is essential when the care of a child is shared which is why we use various methods of communicating with parents.  Daily contact with your child’s key-worker ensures that verbal exchanges can take place, concerns can be raised and dealt with and progress can be discussed.  For our younger children written daily reports go home in the form of a diary which allows you to see at a glance any important information that you need to know such as food and milk intake, nappy changes etc.

For our older children progress reports covering development and progress are sent home periodically which are based on the results of our comprehensive assessments that are regularly carried out by the key-worker.

Knowing what your child is doing during the day helps you reinforce and encourage the same topics and activities at home.  This kind of consistency helps your child be an active, enthusiastic learner.

If you would like to speak privately with either your child’s key-worker or a member of the management team please contact the office to arrange a time to meet.  Although we love to talk about your child anytime we must ensure that adequate staff are available for remaining children during discussions so please let us know in advance so that we can give you our undivided attention. If you just need a quick update on your child’s progress or a chat with the key-worker please allow yourself and us enough time before the end of the day.

We have an open door policy for all parents of children that attend IPK however we do insist that viewing visits are by appointment only to ensure maximum security and stability for our staff and children.  We hope you understand that too many visitors in a short space of time can be disruptive, especially for any new children we might have that are settling in.

We enjoy having parents stop by to play and spend time in their child’s classroom.  Your child will appreciate the attention and you’ll enjoy seeing what goes on during our busy days.  Visiting the classroom helps parents get to know the staff and lets you keep in touch with your child’s expanding world.
