A big thank you to everyone who joined us for today’s Parent Connect session at Speedwell Nursery School! It was lovely to have dedicated time to sit together, chat and share ideas about some of the parenting topics that matter most to you and your family.
Today we talked about toilet training, sleep, and speech and language development. We also explored our curriculum, how we assess children’s learning and development, and our parent review process. We were delighted that our Headteacher, Jet, could join us too, and we talked about the benefits of being a maintained nursery school and how this helps us respond to the needs of our children and families in a timely and supportive way.
