PARENTS AS PARTNERS
At Anston Stones Early Years we pride ourselves on developing strong relationships with not only the children but their families. We believe that working closely together gives the children the best opportunities in life.
We believe that for children to receive quality care and early learning that suits their individual needs, parents and practitioners need to work together in a close partnership. We recognise that parents/carers play the fundamental role in a child’s development as their first educators of their young children and our aim is always to support their role. The two-way sharing of information is key to this. The whole team welcome parents as partners and this relationship needs to be built on trust and understanding. It is important that we, as practitioners, can support parents in an open and sensitive manner.
​
One way in which we do this is through a platform called "Famly". Famly allows us to share observations, photos and direct messages with parents from both Pre-School and home.
Famly is available to download in the app store and access via their website. Each parent/carer will receive their own personal login which allows them to have access to their childs own learning journey where we upload observations, "wow moments" and share information.
