- Look at notices around your setting that are written for staff or parents. Are the notices written in a friendly, respectful and polite way? Could they be re-worded to promote the same message but to show a different and more respectful attitude towards others?
- Think about the information parents might want to know about their children when they come to pick them up each day. Do you communicate this information clearly? Ask them if they feel you keep them well-informed and if there is anything else they would like to know.
- Write a list of things that you would need to tell a new parent at your setting. Think about the things they need to know for themselves and for their child. Don’t forget things like how you pass on letters or information. Are letters given by hand, or put in the child’s bag or tray? Think about things that will help them to feel confident about leaving their child with you: for example, the safety procedures, or what activities you might be doing that day. Don’t forget to introduce them to other key staff.
