Parents love Home from Home

Families that attend Home from Home know we always have their children’s best interests at heart. Since establishment in 2015 the nursery has become central to the lives of so many people in our community. Every morning and evening at Home from Home Worthing you will be greeted at the door by the senior management team who make a special effort to welcome you and your child and get to know all the family. We encourage parental participation and have an open door policy.

Baby and Toddler parents are welcomed into the main building at end of day pick up to discuss their childs experience of the day with their  childs key person and socialise with other parents.

For our PreSchool children, based in the Coach House, we encourage an external pick up as this prepares the children well for their onward journey to  Primary education

We hold Parent evening’s twice a year and put on events such as a Christmas party for the Preschool children,  end of year picnic to celebrate our school leavers moving onto big school and will of course arrange121 progress meetings where requested.

Many of the Home from Home Worthing children will move onto Primary schools in Worthing and take their special friendships with them. This helps encourage a positive transition to ‘big school’. For parents Home from Home Worthing can be a starting point for supportive friendships that continue for years to come.

Home from Home parents are encouraged to be part of their child’s learning and contribute to the curriculum. Management regularly email parents with updates on short to long term plans. Our Parent Panel is designed to encourage dialogue with our senior team to build ideas and share best practise. Communication also takes place through white boards, a parent information notice board, verbal interaction with staff and individual progress meetings.

Parents are asked to contribute to curriculum planning and the sharing of ideas and information about their child’s recent experiences. The Parent Information board is often laden with helpful information. Many parents are keen to contribute their skills or interests and have spent time leading workshops to include music, baking, gardening and various languages from around the world.

At Home from Home Worthing we recognise that the relationship with our parents is invaluable and that each family is different with individual needs. We positively welcome diversity and celebrate an inclusive environment.
