Home Our Partners Places/availability Early Years Foundation Stage   Assessing your child This is done without putting any pressure on the child, they will not be 'tested' in any formal way, all assesment will be done on a continual basis, based on observations. Regular reports on each childs progress will be made, and you will be invited to parents evenings. Helping your child Ask what they have done, and what they like and don't like about nursery, encourage them to ask questions, listen and try new skills at home.  Reading your child stories and nursery rhymes and involving them in activities such as shopping, cooking, cleaning etc. helps in the growth of life experiences. Don't forget to praise them when they have done well.
