Partnership with Parents
At St. Martin’s, we recognise that parents are a child’s first and most enduring educators. We are committed to working in genuine partnership with families to ensure the very best outcomes for every child. Daily communication is a key part of this partnership: we provide regular updates through face-to-face conversations at drop-off and pick-up, as well as using our preferred online portal, Tapestry, to share photos, observations, and milestones from your child’s day. Parents are encouraged to contribute their own observations and comments, helping to build a rich, two-way understanding of each child's development and interests.
We are proud to have an open-door policy and warmly welcome parents into our nursery setting. Whether you have a quick question, need a longer conversation, or simply want to share something about your child, we are always happy to listen. We also offer regular opportunities for more formal meetings, stay-and-play sessions, and workshops, helping parents to feel fully involved in their child's early education. Together, we create a strong and supportive community around each child, laying foundations for a happy and successful start to school life.
