Understand why communication is important in the work setting

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.
