I strive to form relationships with every child in my care as well as their families. I believe that the relationships between families and caregivers is vital and helps better support the child’s development not only in the center but at home as well.…
The starting point for this work is to ensure that you have a good relationship with parents. This is important because if parents do not trust their child's key person or do not enjoy working with them, they are less likely to take on board their advice and suggestions. It is also important that you show a good understanding of parents own strengths and interests and acknowledge what some parents already do at home. In addition, we also need to think about barriers that might make it difficult for parents, such as having several young children or working long hours. Recognising these barriers should help us to…
It is important to have a positive relationship with children and young adults because if they feel comfortable and secure with the adult and their setting weather it is a childminder, a nursery or a school they will separate more easily from their parent /carer, if they feel emotionally secure they are more likely to participate in the play and learning activities. Children need to have a strong relationship with the staff to feel comfortable and secure this will help them to enjoy themselves and less likely to show unwanted behaviour. From the staffs point of view a close relationship means they learn to recognise their needs and are able to meet these needs, the staff can also recognise their expressions and emotions and are able to respond quickly and more effectively to the child, this makes the child more comfortable and confident so they then talk to the staff enabling their language to develop weather they are very young and just learning to speak or are older and learning more complex words and sentences. A strong relationship is also needed so that the staff knows the child they know where they sit on a development chart and can plan activities that the child will enjoy and be interested in and will develop from.…
Effective communication is extremely important in developing positive relationships. If we communicate effectively this will allow children and young people to learn boundaries and expectations. As childcare providers it is important that we model effective communication with other people. For example in a stressful or excitable situation we need to think about our own communication verbally and non-verbally so as to encourage others to do the same. If we practice this, we will form positive relationships with children, young people and adults as they will feel that can communicate back to ourselves and others. If we do not communicate effectively other people will not trust us and will not be taught effective communication themselves.…
Positive relationships with children and young people are important because if the child feels comfortable around the carer they can separate more easily from their parents. Positive relationships also make the child feel emotionally secure, if they feel emotionally secure they are more likely to participate in play and activities which will help their overall development. Also if the child has a positive relationship with the carer they are more likely to talk more which will help their language development. If children have positive relationships they are less likely to show unwanted behaviour because the carer can recognise their needs and meet them. Positive relationships are also important so that the practitioner can plan accurately because they understand the child’s development needs and they know the child’s interests. Practitioners can also respond to children effectively because they can recognise the child’s expressions.…
It important to build a good relationship with parents, an easy way to do this is to make sure you have good communication with them. For example make sure that you talk them in the appropriate language for example using their manners for example please and thank you. Therefore if you have good commutation skills and good body language when working with parents they are more likely to trust you when looking after their children. Children who can sense that their main carer has a good relationship with the childcare setting are more likely to be happy being left in the setting. According to Maskell (2010) “This links into the theorist bowlby (1950) who believed in his findings about secure and attachment”.…

It is crucial for all staff to be consistent as then the children know exactly what is expected of them each time they come to the child minders. It also really helps that if the rules we put into place at the child minders are then, if not already done, are put into place at home, as then this will help children to be less confused and only have one set of rules, which is why at this stage it is essential for consistency. Once the child is older it may also be helpful if the child is involved in drawing up the boundaries and rules to follow and may assist them in taking responsibility for their actions and behaviour.…

As a childcare provider, it can be challenging to obtain established and productive relationships with parents of the young children I care for. My goal as the childcare provider is to have the best relationship with these children’s parents as possible, because good and positive relationships lead to success. I have strategized a plan to obtain my goal. What I plan to do is offer the parents all the information and knowledge about myself and my teaching to them. I will strongly advise my parents to ask questions and give them honest and factual answers. I will provide a loving, nurturing, educational environment, caring for their child to the best of my abilities. I will keep communication…

First impressions last and so carers, making you and your home warm and welcoming will immediately put parents at ease. Likewise, parents should also be neat and presentable when meeting a prospective childcarer. A two-way flow of information and knowledge between parents and carers ensure effective communication. Having posters and pictures on display which reiterate the carer’s positive attitude towards social and cultural diversity as state in their Equal Opportunities policy will not only give parents a feel for the environment that their children will be in, but also help children and families to recognise that they are valued.…
