Parent Info

Communication

Open communication between parents and staff is strongly encouraged. Teachers are encouraged to learn what is important to you as a parent and to use that information when programming for the group. We encourage ongoing dialogue between the school and parents.

Our School App

All parents are given a copy of our ICT policy in full to read and sign at the beginning of each new school year and invited to use our Nursery Tapestry App for observation and communication. The app is classed as a learning journal and info about it can be found here - https://tapestry.info. You can download the app or use the website at this address - https://tapestryjournal.com/. Follow the instructions in the ICT policy (which can be found in the resources section) to get set up with the app. We strongly recommend that every parent creates an account

Accidents & Injuries

If your child is injured while at the nursery, staff will administer basic first aid. If medical attention is required, attempts will be made to reach the parents immediately. Staff will call Emergency Services if required.

Nutrition

Ballymena Nursery School has a healthy eating policy. We provide healthy snacks in Nursery, when the children have the option of fresh water or milk to accompany their break.
