Working in Partnership with Parents and Carers

At Whiteley Preschool, we believe that strong partnerships between our setting and our families are essential to providing the best possible care, learning and development opportunities for every child.

As a community preschool, we value the views, experiences and contributions of our parents and carers. We recognise that families play a vital role in their children’s lives, and we want every family to feel listened to, included and involved in helping to shape our setting.

We are committed to continually reviewing and improving our policies, procedures and practice to ensure that Whiteley Preschool remains a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where every child can learn, develop and thrive.

How you can get involved

We actively welcome parental involvement and encourage parents and carers to share their views, ideas and experiences. You can get involved by:

Sharing ideas and feedback about our policies, procedures and everyday practice.

Contributing to policy reviews and helping us identify areas for improvement.

Getting involved in the wider preschool community, including opportunities to support the development and future direction of our setting.

We believe that listening to families helps us understand what matters most to our community and supports us in making informed decisions that benefit the children in our care.

Join our preschool committee

As a not-for-profit community preschool, our committee plays an important role in supporting the running, development and future sustainability of Whiteley Preschool. We welcome parents and carers who are interested in becoming more involved in the life of our setting and helping us continue to provide high-quality early years education for local families.

If you would like to find out more about joining the preschool committee, please contact Gemma at admin@whiteley-preschool.co.uk.
