With the introduction of the Foundation Stage in September last year and its emphasis on partnership with parents, we wanted to make our children's parents more aware of the early learning goals.
We held a parents' evening to explain the six areas of learning, but we felt they needed hands-on experience of the kind of activities that their children do at nursery to enable them to understand more fully how children learn and work towards the early learning goals in practice.
Our first session was held last month at Possums at Warfield. Around 100 parents from Jocks Lane nursery and Possums at Warfield attended the evening, which was a very good turnout. The evening was also attended by our local early years development officer, Karen Frost, and a field worker from the Pre-School Learning Alliance, Deborah Randell.
