Duke Street Nursery School

Parents and families are always welcome at Duke Street Nursery School and we value parents as the child's first educator. We feel strongly that parents and nursery work closely together to provide the best environment for children to thrive and develop. We encourage parents to become involved in nursery life through the following activities/ events.

 Please speak to a member of staff if you would like to become involved!

• Open door policy- all parents are welcome into nursery at any time of the day and an appointment is not necessary.
• Volunteers-If parents would like to work in school they are more than welcome. Some parents have particular skills they would like to share with the nursery i.e. playing a musical instrument, artist- this can easily be arranged. Other parents would just like to come along and join the fun, all parents are inducted by our senior member of staff.
• Family Open days- Parents and families are invited into nursery once a term to look at the work their children have been doing, talk to the child's teachers and play alongside their children.
• Events- Easter Trail, Winter Wonderland Experience, Summer fete etc these are just a few of the events we encourage our parents to be involved in throughout the year.
• Parents Evening-Twice a year a meeting will be arranged for the parents and the child's class teacher. This is an opportunity to find out how your child is getting on at nursery and ask any questions you may have.
• Tapestry- Parent's can use tapestry to share what your child has been doing at home during the evenings, weekends and through holiday breaks. This gives the key workers the opportunity to share special occasions during circle time (with parental permission).
