Nursery handover.

Following

Why don't u ask if they can start a communication book. You start in morning bout his morning then get then to wright how his day been

@Kiki love that idea. They have an online “book” but feel more like it’s used for ticking boxes, than communication for my child. And they are always added on the days he isn’t there.

It’s usually pretty brief/generic really. I ask if he’s been good and had a fun day, they might comment on what he’s played with/special things they’ve done in the room, maybe what he’s had to eat, and that’s about it. The app gets updated with what he’s eaten throughout the day anyway, then at the end of every day is a post that has all the details about what activities were on offer and lots of group photos, some of which he’ll be in. Conversation may last a little longer if there have been any accidents or incidents, if they’ve had a particularly busy day or exciting things to talk about out.

@Chloe I would be happy with that, I walked in yesterday to Brandon mums here, I said has he had a good day. To which the staff member shouted across the room to the other staff member who replied yeah. I noticed on the signing in sheet that he hadn’t eaten any lunch. After I told them In The morning he had very little breakfast. I asked has he not eaten today. her reply no he might have had a snack this morning?

It depends on who's doing handover but we get told what she's eaten, what she's enjoyed doing that day and whether the staff have had any issues with her 'not using her listening ears' 🤣 now she's potty toilet we have to ask about if she's done number 2. They also have an app they put it all down on

We get a run down of what she’s eaten, what their focus of the day has been, playtime indoors and outside, and if there’s been any issues (rarely).

You can request for a journal .It updates his activities daily. So you don’t have to worry about how his day went. It can be annoying especially mine who is struggling with verbal communication . So the daily journal helps ease my anxiety a lot

also depends what time pick up is. i work in a nursery, and how we do handovers is usually yes they’ve had a good day, list of a few activities we did (baking, painting, played in the garden), then pass on any important messages like any incidents/accidents etc. if a parent picks up at dead on 6pm when nursery closes or they’re late, we usually don’t do as much of a handover as its closing time, if parents pick up at least five minutes earlier then they’ll get more of a handover as we have the time x

@Chloe seems fine to me what other detail would you like?

@Beckie I wasn’t saying I had a problem with it? I think it’s fine?

Is it a private nursery or school based? I find school based nurseries handovers are non existent haha

I don't get told anything at all unless she's hurt herself and I need to sign an accident form.

I get what he ate, what he did, how many poos and wees. Any bumps etc. Sounds like the same as you? I don’t need war and peace - I just want to get him home!!
