re. working in partership with nursery. My mindees nursery is very uncommunicative. If I ask what they're doing in the term, they say they don't have any written planning. Basically, I can't anything written out of them.
I was going to start writing a note of verbal things they'd said to me with date etc., but wondered what else I can do. What info. should I be passing on to them to show I've tried?

You should be writing down everything they say... and I tend to write down what the child says they have done at the other setting as well, as evidence of communication.

I look at the wall displays as well and get an idea of what they are doing from that.

One thing I have done is to take a photo of the child's key worker for his visual timetable... that shows working together as well.

Hth :D

Thanks, any idea what I should be telling / writing down for them? I presume it's meant to be 2 way ( though no way at the moment !)

hi sarah thats good idea im lucky my lo nursey is very good and gives me planning sheets etc how would you put this in learning journal as a observation? or thats the bit im unsure of any help please:)

I wrote to the nursery and asked for us to work together and if there is no response I have tried and can prove that. I keep copies of the term newsletters.
