Key Worker / Staff Ratios

Your child will be allocated a key worker when they come to Westwood, who will help you and your child settle into the routines at Westwood, to help you both feel safe and  secure at that crucial time of separation.

Child Progress

It is very important that we work together to support your child’s learning experience.  We plan half termly for your child and build an ongoing child profile, both of which are available for you share at anytime and input into.

We hold parent meetings with you upon your request and at your convenience at anytime.

Partnership with parents

We have an open door policy and welcome you in at anytime to share in our pre-school activities.

We hold open mornings, coffee mornings and school trips for you to share in your child’s experience.

We produce half termly newsletters and provide regular weekly updates on the what is going on in the pre-school.

All families have a home/school book which can be used to share daily news and achievements.
