Parent Communication

A solid partnership with parents/carers and a strong bond with our mindees is at the epicentre of Finn Academy. 

When a family joins Finn Academy, they will be registered on Baby’s Days, an online childcare system that will store all the information required, policies, contracts, record forms and permissions for parents/ carers to complete. It also includes an All About Me section for parents/carers to complete so that I can gather as much information as possible about the child before they start. 

From there, the child starts settling in sessions so that we can get to know each other and they can begin to explore the playroom and meet their new friends whilst we learn their routines.  Once the child starts their full days and is really beginning to settle (this may take several weeks and that's ok), we will send a link to the Starting Points Pack on Baby’s Days for parents/carers to fill out.  This helps us fill out their progress tracker so that we can ascertain where they are up to in their development and what they need to learn next.

​

Every child at Finn Academy has an online Learning Journey, which is started on their first day and they take it home on their last day, it serves as a lasting memory of their first years. Parents/careers will have their own personalised login for Baby’s Days in order to be able to see what their Child has been up to throughout the day and to check in on their progress.

During the day, we communicate with parents/carers using Baby’s Days which sometimes includes pictures when linked to progress being made against the EYFS.
