Parents
Daily Routine
When your child first starts at our setting, we welcome you to stay until both you and your child feel comfortable with the transition. However, children often settle more easily when the parent hands over the child to a childcare practitioner.
Rest assured, you will always be informed at the end of the session by your child’s Key Person or a member of our team, about how your child has been during the day.
It may take a little time for your child to settle in, make new friends, and engage in the daily activities. However, please be assured that your child’s well-being is always our top priority.
Milk and a snack are provided mid-morning and mid-afternoon. If your child does not drink milk, we offer a glass of water as an alternative. We do not allow juice or sweets during this time.
We kindly ask that you refrain from bringing your child to the setting if they are suffering from a contagious illness or have had sickness or diarrhoea, unless they have been clear of symptoms for at least 48 hours.
After schoOl Club
At Cromer Childcare, we offer both Breakfast and After-School Clubs. These services are very popular, so please contact the setting for more details and availability.
Holiday Club
During the Autumn and Spring half-term breaks, as well as the Easter, Summer half-term, and Summer holidays, we offer a Holiday Club for children ages 6 months – 11 years. Our Holiday Club features a wide range of exciting activities suitable for all ages. Discounts are available for booking a full week.

Parental Involvement
Our goal is to support and enhance each child’s development, while respecting, understanding, and valuing the vital role families play in their child’s learning journey.
Families will have access to information about the curriculum, activities, and events through weekly emails, updates on the parents’ notice board, and a termly newsletter.
Parent Consultation weeks are held in the Autumn and Spring terms, providing families with the opportunity to have an informal chat with their child’s Key Person. However, appointments with the Key Person or a member of management can be made at any time. Families are also welcome to come in and help during Pre-School sessions by prior arrangement.
Development records
When your child joins our setting, they will be assigned a Key Person. This staff member will be your main point of contact, liaising with you and completing regular reports to monitor your child’s progress throughout their time with us.
Parents are encouraged to discuss their child’s progress at any time with their child’s Key Person.
For working parents, appointments can be made at a time that suits you during childcare hours.
We also provide a Home/Setting contact book, which allows families to contribute to their child’s progress records. These contributions, alongside our formal observations, help us build a holistic view of your child’s development.
At the end of the year, a written report will be provided to parents, summarising their child’s progress and achievements.
