Parent / Carer Comments

• I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon and it
  certainly gave me an insight as to what the
  children do and how they learn. A well worth
  exercise that I would be happy to repeat.
• It was wonderful to get to see all of what the
  children get up to in nursery, now I know why
  they come home tired.
• I think it was a good idea to have the open day
  as it let the parents see how the children are
  progressing and how they interact with other
  children.
• I had a fantastic time today. My child really
  enjoyed having her mummy play with her today.
  The children are all well behaved and enjoy
  coming to nursery. The nursery is very well
  organised and brings the childrens learning on.
  Well done.
• Ive really enjoyed this session, more so than
  the last one as my child seems far more confident
  in herself and her surroundings. Just a small
  point about the nursery newsletters, as we are
  reliant on childminders/family passing them
  on, could it be e-mailed out?
