We welcome Cubs’ and Tigers’ parents/carers to attend their child’s session once the child has settled. Most families really enjoy this time and feel that it gives them a greater knowledge of their child’s time at Rainbow and a closer connection to the staff working with them. Please put your name on the parent rota calendar (in the quiet room). Please do not bring younger siblings to the session as the resources may not be suitable or safe for them. Below is a guide to the session routine for parents/carers, or you can just stay and play with your child: Please come in with your child at the beginning of the session and sign in; The children play in the main room until everyone has arrived and settled; We all sit down together for registration and discuss the day’s activities; We all go outside for physical activities, ‘wake and shake’; The children are split into small key working groups for planned activities; During free play the children have access to all rooms and the outside area these are set up with different activities, with a member of staff in each area; Rolling snack is available throughout free play; Help is normally most needed in the messy room to start with and in the main room later; All the children are encouraged to help tidy up, with adult support where necessary; The children meet up for story time in the main room; As we close, we sing ‘Rainbow’s Over’. Help may be needed with aprons, hand washing, coats, and bags, tidying and washing up. For child protection and insurance reasons, you are never left alone with the children and cannot take them to the toilet. If they do ask you, please direct them to a member of staff. On the day you will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement. Please ask Debbie if you would like to see a copy of this in advance. We hope that you enjoy your sessions with us. If you have any queries, please ask the staff. INFORMATION BOOKS
