Parents Evening
at Training Depot Day Nursery
Aparents evening was recently held at the
Training Depot, with the aim of emphasising the
importance of trying to put across to parents and
carers how important Personal, Social and Emotional
Development (PSED) is.
The idea of basing parents evening around PSED came
about through parents regularly asking the same
questions: “Why is my child not writing?”, “Why does
my child not know about numbers?” being the main
focus.
PSED is made up of lots of different factors just as
important as those in the questions regularly asked
by parents, so the Training Depot set about to try any
address the balance of this focus. A special display was
produced for parents to read all about PSED.
This enabled the parents to understand why their child
might not excelling in one area but might be doing
much better in another. An information sheet was also
produced to fully explain and emphasise this.
This was the first step to equip parents with
information on how they can help their child with
PSED and therefore have children that are confident
and ready for the next step on the learning journey.
