Learning Through Play: Where Imagination Blooms. Book a nursery tour
You know your child better than anyone. We spend a good part of their week with them. When those two kinds of knowledge meet, children thrive, which is why we treat parents as partners rather than as an audience.
That partnership is built out of small, everyday habits: a diary that comes home filled in, a photo that arrives while the moment is still warm, a door you can walk through without an appointment.
Being away from your child during the day is hard, particularly in the first weeks. So we do not make you wait until pick-up to find out how it went. Photos and updates reach you while the day is still happening, the first steps into the sand tray, the moment a tower finally stayed up, the friend who shared a snack.
Every child also has a daily communication diary. It records the ordinary but important things, what they ate, how they slept, how toileting went, what caught their interest, and it works in both directions: write to us in it, and their Key Person will read it and reply.
Each child is assigned a Key Person: the educator who knows their routines, their comfort object, their favourite book and the particular way they like to be settled. They are your first point of contact for anything about your child’s day, and the person who gathers observations for their EYFS learning journey.
You are welcome to call during the day to check in, parents never need to apologise for that. While a child is settling in, you are welcome to stay in the classroom, and we agree a gradual settling-in plan with you so that goodbyes get easier at your child’s pace rather than ours. If you have a concern, speak first to your child’s educator; if it needs more, the Director is always available.
Parents are a real part of nursery life at Little Regent. Over the year families join us for events and celebrations, come in to read stories, help out at bake sales, volunteer on activity days, and visit at open days. If you have a skill, a story or a spare morning, we would love to have you.
More answers to everyday questions are on our FAQ page, and you can reach us any time through the contact page.
Photos and messages sent while the moment is still happening, not saved up until home time.
Eating, sleeping, toileting and the highlights of the day, and space for you to write back.
Call during the day, stay in class while your child settles, and visit without needing an appointment.
Events, story reading, bake sales, volunteering and open days, parents are part of nursery life here.
