Working in Partnership - Eitquette
Good afternoon all,
I hope you are having a lovely weekend and enjoying the lovely weather!
I have a query with regard to Working in Partnership with other settings – particularly Day Nurseries. I have a child who is now attending a Day Nursery for part of the week and part of the week still with me. I have sent a letter to their Key Person two weeks ago, and have had no response.
I am just wondering if there is a Working in Partnership etiquette with regard to how long to wait before sending another letter? (It was sent by recorded delivery so I have proof they have received it).
The reason I am asking is that I want to ensure I am meeting the needs of the child with regard to the EYFS and that if he Day Nursery do not want to engage I will try a maximum number of times and then have on record that I did try (I wish they would engage as it would be beneficial in this case I think). I have had responses before and work currently in partnership with another setting and other outside agencies so fine in this regard – just the etiquette and do not want to appear pushy. If the Day Nursery do not want to engage I will accept this. I just do not want to leave it too long between correspondence that it does not appear I am trying or too short between correspondences that I appear forceful and distance myself and get off on the wrong foot with them so to speak before we have even engaged.
Many thanks in advance.
