Parents are the most important people in children’s lives and they have a wealth of valuable information and understandings regarding their children.
We have an open door policy at Little Voyagers Childcare, however due to COVID19 restrictions we have had to change this temporarily, families are no longer authorised to enter our childcare areas. While our building may be closed to you as parents/guardians/visitors at the moment, our service remains open and working for you.
We keep in regular communication with families on a daily basis to let you know how things are going. We will take lots of photos of activities your child is engaged in and we will share the photos with you as usual through the Child Paths app.
Parents are invited to contribute in other appropriate ways to the successful development of the service, e.g becoming a member of Ardfert Community Council CLG Committee or a fundraising sub-committee.
Our Childpaths App is the most effective form of communicating with staff both in real time and if you want to send a message for the following day etc. You can message the staff member directly or to a specific room for all of the staff.
We cannot emphasise how important it is to use this fantastic means of communication. It is also the primary means of communication that we use and daily notes or special requests will be sent via the App so parental involvement is key.
We also can be contacted by phone or email and will respond in a timely manner to any queries you may have.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, we have been advised that no parents are allowed into the building. We have made it possible to accommodate creche viewings with prospective parents through arranging visits outside of creche opening hours.
Once we have confirmed the allocation of a place for your child we will be able to arrange visits in our sports hall, where we can allow for the social distancing. This will give our new parents an opportunity to meet with our staff, introduce their children and allow practitioners to discuss with you how best to manage your child’s transition into our Creche.
We have an open-door policy at Little Voyagers Childcare, however due to COVID19 restrictions we have had to change this temporarily, and families are no longer authorised to enter our childcare areas without prior arrangement. While our building may be closed to you as parents/guardians/visitors at the moment, our service remains open and working for you.
In line with the HSE (Covid-19) guidelines, we are still able to accommodate new families in the process of meeting our staff and viewing our premises. When settling in your child, you should keep physical distance with other adults where possible and use a mask.
This is a fantastic opportunity to familiarise yourself and your child with our setting and staff and inform our practitioners about your child’s, routines, preferences and links to home. During this meeting you will be able to discuss any concerns you may have and receive relevant information on your child’s journey in our care.
