Development records
At Kiddies’ Cabin we hold development records on each child. These contain information, observations and dates regarding learning and development goals reached by the individual child along with photos and examples of art work.
These records are confidential and are regularly kept up to date by each child’s key worker. If at any time the child’s parent wishes to view their records they are more than welcome and if preferred a meeting can be organised for viewing and discussion.
Every month the child’s key carer will use the developmental records information to assess where a child is on a developmental stage and decide which areas of development to focus on next. We believe that parents, as the child’s primary carer have a key role to play in this process and are invited to make suggestions as to the direction of the child’s development, in partnership with the key carer.
Twice a year parents are invited to meet with their child’s key carer to look at the developmental folder and discuss their child’s progress during a parents evening.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is how the Government and early years professionals describe the time in your child’s life between birth and age 5.
This is a very important stage as it helps your child get ready for school as well as preparing them for their future learning and successes. From when your child is born up until the age of 5, their early years experience should be happy, active, exciting, fun and secure; and support their development, care and learning needs.
Nurseries, pre-schools, reception classes and child minders registered to deliver the EYFS must follow a legal document called the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.

Testimonials
V is leaving to go to school in September 2020. His development in all aspects has been noticed. His manners and kindness where he says thank you and please has been the most heart warming.
I've benefitted most from parents evening to showcase what V has done and the progress he has made and the summer fetes bringing kids and parents together.
I would like to mention Anaisa, she's V's key carer but I remember when she has joined and was soo quiet, seeing her over time come out of her shell and really be there for the kids is a lovely thing to see. Its difficult to mention one member of staff in particular as all of them have played a positive role during the time V has been at Kiddies' Cabin.
I think the nursery is good value and I definitely recommend Kiddies' Cabin.
I want to thank all the staff at Kiddies' Cabin for the years of happiness. It will definitely be emotional when V leaves and I will forever cherish the memories and I know V will too. Thank you for being there throughout my journey and supportive of my changed circumstances. Fingers crossed, I could be back with a new addition!
