- How do you communicate with service users and how are they involved in decision making/planning?
Each child will have a key person who will be the main point of contact for the families. The key person will be available on each of the child’s nursery days. The manager has an open door policy so all service users can come in and chat at any time. Newsletters are sent out once a term. Letters are sent out to inform of any changes. Someone is always around to answer the phone. Each term our families are given an anonymous feedback forms for them to tell us how they think we are doing and how we can improve the service we provide. Once a term we hold parents meetings for all of the families that use the service which is another opportunity for families to tell us how they feel about the service.
