Positive Relationships

Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person.

• Respecting Each Other

  Childbase's key people endeavour to understand the feelings of each child through empathetic and child focused interactions. The older children talk about these feelings and those of others through their circle times to further enhance their social skills.

• Parents as Partners

  By forming strong relationships with parents and children our practitioners provide an effective two-way flow of communication. Whether this is on a daily basis through feedback at the beginning and ends of sessions or through our parents or stay and play evenings we see that parents and practitioners can learn together to enhance the progress that each child makes.

• Supporting Learning

  Through strong bonds and relationships our key people aim to deploy effective teaching strategies to foster perseverance without a fear of failure. Our practitioners nurture a love of early learning experiences to prepare children for later learning and life.

• Key Person

  Our key people have a vital role to play in developing secure attachments with their key children providing a settled and close relationship. We hope through this bond the children will feel independent, happy and secure enough to explore and try out new things in our rich learning environments
