Communication

Stay connected: how we communicate with parents

At Pepperberry Nursery, we value strong partnerships with parents, recognising the importance of keeping you informed about your child's experiences and progress. Our communication approach ensures transparency, collaboration, and regular updates, helping you feel closely connected to your child’s early learning journey.

Supporting meaningful communication

At Pepperberry Nursery, our communication approach reflects the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework, which emphasises meaningful interactions over excessive paperwork. The EYFS encourages quality-focused communication with parents, allowing educators to prioritise nurturing relationships and tailoring activities to each child’s needs.

By following these guidelines, we ensure our team spends more time engaging with your child while providing clear, concise updates on their progress. This balanced approach strengthens the partnership between parents and nursery staff, ensuring your child receives the best support for their early learning and development.

We provide clear and consistent updates about your child’s activities, development, and daily routines:

Weekly Observations: Detailed updates with photos capturing key moments in your child’s learning journey.

Monthly Summaries: Comprehensive progress overviews shared at the end of each month.

Progress Reports: Formal assessments, including the 2-Year Progress Check and biannual summative reports.

Daily Diaries: Insight into meals, nap times, and activities, complemented by verbal handovers from staff.

We also share nursery-wide updates through regular emails, newsletters, and social media posts, keeping you informed about upcoming events and activities.
