Working in Partnership with Parents in the Early Years Setting

Good quality working relationships between early years settings and parents are crucial.  Successful relationships become partnerships when there is a two way communication; where parents and practitioners listen to each other’s views to achieve the best outcomes for each child.  Different stages of development can cause stress and tensions for parents therefore by listening to parents practitioners can share their expertise and offer advice and assistance to help parents and children manage these emotionally charged times with ease.  When good relationships are developed communication will flow backwards and forwards between the setting and the parents.  This continuity will allow practitioners to really get to know children and enable planning to take place which meets the individual needs of each child.
