Parent Partnership

Our Partnership with Parents

Our relationship with you, the parents and carers of the children, is especially important to us here at Tangent House Day Nursery; after all you are your child’s first and most important teacher. We believe that children benefit greatly when practitioners and parents work together to provide them with the best possible outcomes in their earliest years, which is why we more than welcome your ideas, information and thoughts about the best ways to move forward with your child.

Education & Wellbeing

The EYFS, Education and Wellbeing

Some of the parents joining our nursery will already have knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and to others it will be the first time they have heard the phrase. The EYFS is a statutory framework for all registered early years settings. The overarching aim of the EYFS is to help young children achieve the five ‘Every Child Matters’ outcomes of: being healthy, staying safe, enjoying and achieving, making a positive contribution and achieving economic well-being. At Tangent House Day Nursery we are committed to ensuring that we actively promote these 5 outcomes for all children in our care.

Tangent House

“My son attends the nursery and he is extremely happy. The practitioners are friendly and supportive, they have encouraged him to be independent and also with his speech and learning. They keep me informed of his progress and update me daily on how he is doing highlighting anything new he has learned.”

Tangent House

“In the last 6 months H’s development has come on leaps and bounds with the focus on using flash cards with him at Nursery. The support the staff have shown him is such a great relief for me. He can’t wait to leave the house most mornings to come and see his friends which is a great feeling to know he is happy at Nursery.

It’s nice to see a solid caring team.”
