• We ensure that any photographs or recordings taken of your children in our nursery are only done with prior written permission from each child’s parent.
• We ask for individual permissions for photographs and video recordings for each different use including, use in the child’s learning journey, for display purposes, for promotion materials including our nursery website and brochure and to use in the local press. We ensure that parents understand that their child may also be on another photograph, but not as the primary person, that may be used in another child’s learning journey.
• Parents are not permitted to use any recording device or camera (including those on mobile phones) on the nursery premises without the prior consent of the manager.
• During special events, e.g. Christmas or leaving parties, In this case individual permission will be asked for each child before this event. This will ensure all photographs taken are in line with parental choice.
• Only the nursery phone can be used to contact parents not staff phones.
As you are all aware we only have minimum parking space outside the nursery and due to the new parking restrictions on the Calthorpe Road between the hours of 4:30-6:30, you
are unable to park here. Due to this please can we ask parents to ensure that you are courteous to other parents that wish to collect their children.
Some sad news Laura Head of Early Learners is leaving us as well as Sidra and Kaillie we would like to wish them all the best for their future and thank them for all their hard work
they have done whilst here at Edgbaston Nursery School.

PRE SCHOOL LEAVERS
TOYS TO NURSERY
Please can we ask all parents to ensure that you
follow your child's book patterning and ensure your are not entering the room before your
start time. This is due to ratio and staffing. You are all welcome to come into the room and
stay with your child/children until then.
SESSION TIMES
BRITISH VALUES
There have been some changes to our curriculum (the Early Years Foundation Stage), one of the main
changes is how we promote British Values in the Early Years. So what are these? Well the EYFS says
“Fundamental British values, first set out in the Government’s Prevent strategy, are democracy, the
rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. The promotion of fundamental British values will be
reflected in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and exemplified in an age-appropriate way through
practice guidance”
SETTLING IN JIGSAWS We are now introducing our ‘Jigsaws’ which are
the forms that will be used to record the views of the child, parents and key person. We will be using
the ‘Jigsaws’ to enhance and reflect on the children’s transition period and to provide
yourselves, as parents with more information about your child’s development.
‘Jigsaws’ will be completed for each individual child around two weeks after they have settled
into the new playroom, you will then be invited by your child’s key to discuss the ‘Jigsaw’ and of
course add your piece.
