How Devon Nurseries Can Support Working Parents
Questions around childcare can be challenging for all parents, especially when juggling it with work. Everyone wants the best for their little one, but often, real life can complicate things.
Here at Devon Nurseries, we’re regularly contacted by working parents asking about day nurseries in Exeter. Every situation is unique, and we take great pride in our ability to help parents make the best decision for them, no matter what that might be.
For those who decide that nursery is the ideal option, we take a lot of measures to ensure working parents feel as comfortable and prepared for the experience as their children. Here are some of the things we do to ensure working parents are supported.
Explaining Nursery Fees and Childcare Funding
The UK Government provides a level of funding to support funded childcare for eligible children between nine months and four years. This means parents can apply for childcare funding and get funded sessions with us.
We know the Government’s childcare funding scheme can be confusing for parents. Our fees and funding page breaks it down so you know exactly what you can expect to pay with us. We also provide useful links to Government pages.
If you have any additional questions about childcare funding, you can also speak to our senior management team, who will try to help.
Compassionate & Professional Staff
We know that one of the most important things for parents is knowing and trusting the nursery staff. That’s why all of our nurseries have small, passionate and professionally-trained teams who you can know and trust.
All of our team members are happy to talk with parents and answer any questions they may have, big or small. All our teams meet the qualification expectations of the EYFS, so you can be sure your little one is in the best hands.
We’re always delighted to hear about children going home and talking to their parents about how much fun they have with our staff!
Holistic Development
At Devon Nurseries, we go to great lengths to ensure all children get a well-rounded experience, combining learning with interpersonal and social development, plus a lot of fun!
We deliver a comprehensive Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, ensuring that your child is prepared for the next step into primary school education. Our staff are trained to deliver EYFS with care and attention for all children, so nobody will be left behind.
Beyond EYFS, we also take great care to ensure all children develop their self-confidence and social skills. Through regular group activities like forest school style activities, we support children to become independent thinkers and talkers, as well as improve their communication with groups, all important skills that will help them as they grow.
Sharing Information Through Famly
Communication between early years educators and parents is crucial to us at Devon Nurseries, and we know it can be even more important for working parents. That’s why we use Famly, a handy app that provides you with updated information on your little one every day.
Famly serves as an information hub where our staff can provide info on anything that happens with your child during that day, as well as other pieces of administration. As an app, you can access this information on your phone whenever and wherever you are.
We find that Famly provides peace of mind to parents, allowing them to relax and enjoy their time while their little one is with us, safe in the knowledge they are getting the care and attention you expect.
