Daily Routine
At Bookie’s Babes, we value and respect all children and families equally. Parents know their children best; they are their child's first and most enduring educators. The EYFS places a strong emphasis on working with parents as partners. We take into account parents' and carers' knowledge of their child's, physical, emotional and language development. Bookie’s Babes also offers a daily diary to communicate where key persons document what activities children have done, nappy changes, sleep times and how well children eat and drink that day. Parents have a section within this diary to communicate with the staff.
Bookie’s Babes also asks the parents to email a rough routine when children start and this is a work in progress and regularly updated by parents as and when their children change sleep patterns, food requirements and toilet routines. Bookie’s Babes is able to commit and respect each child’s routine to ensure they feel as secure as possible in our setting to enable learning, a core belief at Bookie's. Parents and key persons share information and knowledge to ensure the child’s needs are met.
