Parents and Child Support Groups

Together we work better.

At Patcham Village Pre-school it is crucial to us that parents and carers have the very best support, advice and networking opportunities they can get;

Other parents are a wonderful resource when life throws us challenges; we can link families to families facing similar challenges i.e. Speech and Language delay, ASC etc.  (subject to permission being sought).

Knowing where and who to turn to when your child needs extra help is critical.

Being able to understand assessment processes and what to expect helps with what otherwise can be a complicated process. 

"There are good arrangements to work in partnership with parents. Staff provide
a friendly greeting when parents arrive to drop off their children. They use these
times well to gather useful information to help them anticipate if a child is likely
to need any extra support to settle. Parents also receive regular information
about the progress their children are making through an interactive online
system. Parents are very positive in their feedback about the provider and staff
team."

Knowing which way to turn

Finding the support you need is as important to us as it is to you.

We will utilise our 'Parent and child links to support ' section to sign post you to:

  • Speech and Language support
  • Autism support
  • Global development delay support
  • Organisations that can help and advise you.
  • Links that give you overviews on assessment processes such as EHCPs and ASC diagnosis stages.
  • Organisations that can advise on financial matters such as applying for DLA.
  • Charities that support families with specific conditions.

As we find more to take the strain off our families we will continue to post them.

Each of us is a unique strand in the intricate web of life and here to make a contribution.
