Making a Positive Contribution
The Infant Department are working towards gaining the award for the Herts Quality Standards. We have currently completed the first three modules and are now working on the fourth module, Making a Positive Contribution. We would like to hear your comments about the following points.
-
What do you feel that the Infant Department at Woolgrove School, does best to ensure your child is able to make a positive contribution? For example the staff listen, provide symbols for my child to use etc.
-
What reassures you that your child is happy and involved in the setting?
-
How does your child show that they are involved? What do you see your child doing at the tea party events?
-
How does the setting support your child’s needs as an individual?
- What can the Infant Department improve upon to ensure children and adults make positive contributions?
Thank you for your comments and suggestions.
