EYFS: How to get home visits right

Many settings carry out home visits before children and families start with them. 

But whether you work in a playgroup, private nursery, school nursery or Reception class, there are some important considerations to take into account before making these visits part of your practice.  

If home visiting is already part of your role, take some time to reflect and review with your team.

Quick read:  Five questions we need to ask about EYFS

Quick listen:  What you need to know about the problems with ‘school readiness’ 

Want to know more?  My year in teaching: adventures with my early years class

We must be clear and consistent about what we do and why we do it.  There are dos and don’ts that must be regarded to make sure that a visit is successful and comfortable for all involved.

Be flexible

Remember that a visit to a family’s home is a privilege. You are their guest. In this way, the visit must take place on their terms, and at their convenience.

It can be very difficult for many parents or carers to get time off to see you during the day, and their child may be at nursery during this time, making it disruptive for everyone and hardly an ideal start.  

Rather than send appointments to the families, put up a chart at your introductory sessions for new families and ask them to sign up for a convenient time.

As a teacher, I met my youngest son’s new nursery teacher at my childminder’s house during my lunch break, a mutually convenient time for us all.

Allow refusals

Remember that there is no obligation to have a visit, it is not a statutory requirement.

If a family does not want a visit for any reason this must be respected, and reasons must not be expected. 

An informal meeting at a different venue may be more acceptable. I have met families in a local coffee shop, and some of my families preferred to come to school for a private cup of tea and a chat.

The core purpose of these visits must be to build up relationships founded on two-way trust and respect.

Don’t be judgemental

In order to build up this trust and respect, the home visit must not to be viewed as a time for form filling or cross examination. 

It is not an assessment or test - remember that some families will have had other agencies involved in their lives which may not have been such a pleasant experience.

Home visits are not judgemental, and should not be perceived as such. In this way, writing any kind of notes is inappropriate; don’t go armed with a clipboard and forms to fill in as this could easily be perceived as threatening.

Your visit is an opportunity to meet each other in an informal way, play with the children and feel relaxed in each other’s company. Building up trust and respect will help families to share things in confidence if they wish.

That is not to say that forms cannot be left with the parents to be filled in after the visit. Remember that visitors with clipboards are intimidating and this will damage any relationship.

Be sensitive to timings

Think about how long each visit needs to be, and be sure that the family knows how long you will be there. It is important that these aren’t rushed, but also that the welcome is not outstayed.

The family must feel relaxed. It is fine to accept or decline a drink or something to eat just as you would when visiting a friend. 

Bring resources 

Take a resource from the setting to share with the child. I always take a story sack as they enable interaction with the child, the family can join in, and the same resource will be available for them when they start at the setting.

Stay relaxed

Keeping relaxed can help families to share very private information with you. For example medical matters, special needs or family circumstances.

This must be respected as confidential and any paperwork given must be treated securely at the setting; the information should only be shared with those who need to know.

A relaxed home visit is about your team too. If you know that a colleague has specific allergies, it is always a good idea to check if a family has pets when arrangements are made.

Go in pairs

Finally, home visits must always be done in pairs. This is a safeguard for all concerned, but is also very practical - with two adults visiting there will be time for play and conversation and for everyone to feel relaxed.

EYFS Guide -The Importance of Home Visits

Transition into the eyfs.

As the start of the new school year approaches Reception teachers will be getting ready to welcome and settle in their new class.  This is such an important time as the transition into Reception should be a positive and exciting beginning for children on the start of their school and learning journey.

Home visits play an important part in ensuring this new transition is a smooth and supportive time for children.  Home visits are not statutory however they do reflect good EYFS practice and provide an important initial link for positive parental interactions.

Continuity of experience

Children often act differently in their home environment and this gives teachers a good insight into the child and an understanding of their interests and development.  It also enables children to have a chance to get to know their teacher on a one to one basis and begin to establish a relationship.  This can help to reduce anxiety about starting school and also the child will have a familiar face on their first day.

Parental Involvement in the EYFS

The visits also provide Parents with an opportunity to speak about any particular needs their chid may have.  A lot of Parents aren’t comfortable to do this in a big welcome meeting or when they first meet the new teacher in a school environment.  Home visits act as a way of opening up lines of communication between home and school.

Home visits also provide the ideal opportunity for discussing with Parents the schools transition procedures and arrangements.   Lunch, play times and support systems that need to be put into place can be talked about.

Developing Home/School Links in the EYFS

Home visits and developing those vital links of communication with the home and establishing relationships with children and family members ensure the transition to school is a happy one.  Smooth transition enables a positive start to the school year for children, Parents and teachers alike.  The sooner children are settled and relaxed in their learning environment their love and zest for learning will begin and develop.

If you have any concerns about transition or need help to develop your EYFS provision please get in touch.

Post: Are home visits a good idea?

Are home visits a good idea?

Are home visits a good idea by sarah detheridge at the early years staffroom.

The statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) does not refer to home visits however building relationships with parents is fundamental in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).  Research shows that strong teacher relationships with parents improves a child’s progression through Education.  I have always believed that ‘Parents are the first teachers’.  Having a respectful working relationship with parents can really benefit the child and teachers can gain so much knowledge to build up a picture of the child’s learning and development which will in turn help children progress further.  When I was a nursery teacher I always did home visits and it really helped to see the child in their home environment as it meant I had something to talk to them about that was personal to them, not only if they were a bit unsettled when they first started nursery, but also to build up a warm, trusting relationship. Most of all, home visits enabled me to get know the child better than I ever would have without a home visit.  Taking an ‘ All about Me book ’ is a good way to find out more about the child’s preferences as well as giving the opportunity for the parent to help the child complete it, and prepare them for nursery.

Home visits are also really beneficial for parents as it begins building relationships and eases any of their concerns, parents will feel happy to talk about routines and expectations. Some teachers and parents may feel uncomfortable with the idea of home visits,  Teachers may be conscious of ‘intruding’ in the family home, and parents may feel a range of emotions from anxiety of their own school experience, reluctance, pressure to tidy the house or a disruption in their routine.

I found several mixed views online from parents and whilst I was aware that some parents feel apprehensive I thought it would be a good idea to share some points to consider approaching home visits sensitively if you have never had to carry one out before, or questions to think about that you may not have considered (see below).

“I have to say, it is really good for the child to get to know the teacher a bit, and for them to see the teacher in their own environment. So many children are really chuffed when they come into school, and they see the teacher and then say, ‘You were at my house!”

Points to consider before carrying  out a home visit

• Think about your safety first – always go in pairs and ensure you have a mobile phone to contact the school in emergencies.=

• Do you need any training beforehand?
• Confirm with the parent that the home visit can still go ahead
• Is there any photos and resources you can take to show children?
• Is there a procedure you need to follow?
• Will you need an interpreter for families that have English as a second language?
• Guarantee parents privacy
• Make it clear that there is no obligation to accept a home visit and explain why you are doing it

Points to consider during the home visit

• It is an opportunity to get to know the child so whilst one of you is talking to the parent, the other can be interacting and getting to know the child
• Talk about the setting, routines, what clothing is needed, expected behaviour etc.

• Discuss the child’s development
• Keep it informal and friendly

If the child has met you already, you will be a familiar face to them, and this can really help them to settle in. Try to remember something that you noticed or were told on the home visit such as “Do you remember me coming to your home?” “I remember that you like playing with cars, we have cars at Nursery too”, “I’ve put the dinosaurs out as I remembered you like those”, “Is your baby brother starting to walk yet?”.  Comments like these can be reassuring to the child and they will feel more connected to the setting and start to build a good relationship with you.

Empowering Teachers as the Experts

Conquering Teacher Home Visits with Three Simple Questions

It’s been three years since I’ve started my second stint in the classroom and without a doubt my favorite new practice as a teacher is home visits. Home visits create an opportunity for home-school collaboration that is hard to find any other way.

Home visits aren’t a new practice, but they’re gaining more attention , and for good reason. It’s hard to list all the benefits, but to name a few:

• They show families you care and are willing to go the extra mile.
• They provide a chance to learn more about the interests, family values and culture of the students in your classroom.
• They provide a chance for you to share your vision and goals as a teacher .

I almost always walk away from a home visit feeling like I’ve gotten to know something about a student I might never have learned otherwise. Also I end up feeling like I’ve entered into a partnership with that student’s family, much stronger than anything I’ve created through phone calls or even parent-teacher conferences.

Of course home visits aren’t easy. They’re time consuming, and if you do them once the school year has already started it’s difficult to find the time and energy. And that’s coming from someone who doesn’t have any kids of my own yet! Additionally, some families are wary of inviting teachers into their homes, especially if it’s not a common school or district practice.

To manage these challenges, there’s a few practices I’ve taken on. First, I set clear boundaries for myself. In my first year of home visits I did them any day of the week, and they often would last an hour per visit on average. To safeguard my time better this year, I’ve let families know I’m available Monday to Thursday and to expect a 30 minute visit.

To help families understand the purpose of home visits — I’m not coming as a social worker or in any evaluative capacity — I send a letter home and discuss them early and often during in-person interactions over the first days of school. I also offer to meet families at other locations — the library, a restaurant or school — if they prefer. I want home visits to show families that they don’t have to come to school to work with me, that communication and cooperation are a two way street. But meeting wherever they prefer is more important than inadvertently sending the wrong message by visiting them at their home. Each year there are still some families who aren’t willing or able to schedule a home visit, but overall I’ve found clarifying the goal of home visits has helped a great deal.

Schools and districts could better support home visits through policies that provided extra time (via half-days perhaps) or compensation for teachers to complete them. Speaking as someone who does home visits voluntarily however, there are still ways to make them more manageable. But given the benefits of home visits, I highly encourage you taking them on even if your school or district isn’t giving you the time or money to do so.

If you’re going to try home visits and successfully keep within a 30 minute conversation, it helps to have a little script. Meeting in a more personal space — whether it’s at home or in a restaurant — can sometimes lead to an extended discussion. Three guiding questions can help focus your conversation, and make sure you get the most out of your time.

1. What are your hopes and dreams for your child this year? 

You may find this language cheesy, but I choose this language in an effort to convey the awesome responsibility I feel as a teacher of someone’s child. I don’t have any children of my own yet, but I can imagine the deep sense of investment families have in their children’s future. I want to show respect for those hopes and dreams and I want families to know that their hopes and dreams are as important, if not more so, than my academic goals for their child.

2. You are your child’s first teacher. What can you tell me that will help me to teach them best?

Again, I seek to show respect, even deference, to the expertise of my student’s family. I may know how to lead a guided reading group or the best way to use manipulatives during math, but only a family member can share a valuable fact like a child’s love of dance, or the way they shut down if they’re feeling embarrassed. This question is intentionally broad and open-ended, so I can learn about student’s interests, academic strengths and weaknesses, learning style and so much more.

3. Do you have any special interests or skills you’d like to share with the class?

This final question I include as an invitation. There are many types of knowledge valued in my classroom. It is my responsibility to impart teach to the standards through the methods I feel comfortable and skilled in. But inviting families offers a way to bring in content outside of our curriculum or bring a fresh perspective to what we’re already planning to cover. If I can bring in a family member to lead an art activity or to help students make a personal connection to a social studies lesson, then my classroom will truly feel like a community.

Once I’ve learned a family’s unique perspective on their child and their own skills or interests, I take some time to share my own philosophy on teaching and learning. Sometimes this almost feels unnecessary, because my questions have hopefully shown that first and foremost, I try to create a classroom where student’s identities and cultures are fully seen and valued. However, it is still important to share something about myself as a way of repaying what families have shared with me.

I won’t tell you that home visits are easy. Taking the time to schedule meetings with my student’s families in the midst of finding my back-to-school rhythm can often be exhausting. But the energy it takes to make home visits happen comes back ten-fold in a feeling of accomplishment and excitement I receive when I leave a student’s home having learned something powerful about who they are beyond what I can see on my own.

21 Nursery Letter Ideas

Nursery letters are a standard decoration because they’re a fun and cute way to label your baby’s space. Your little one may not have developed a strong personality yet, or may not even have been born, so their name is the core of their identity for now. You can put up generic wall letters, or use these Nursery Letter Ideas to create something that stands out and that your and your little one will love.

1) Animal Alphabet

Babies and young children typically love animals, so letters with animals are a wonderful way to make them interesting and begin teaching them the letter sounds. You can get a customized name decal with animals here. Each letter will have an animal that represents it, giving your little one the chance to start learning the sounds each of the letters in their name make. The animals will also look cute and fun while adding color to the room.

2) Light-Up Pink

Light-up letters can be a neat way to create a night light so that you can check on your baby at night if the letters are bright enough. They’re also a pretty decoration and they should give off soft enough light that your baby can still sleep. For an interesting look, you can get pink light-up wall letters like these. While these pink ones are perfect for a baby girl’s room, you can get other colors for a boy’s room. 

3) DIY Framed

If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on each letter, you can make wall letters on your own for a lower cost. One way to make letters that don’t cost much and aren’t difficult to make is to create framed wall letters like these. This is a fairly simple DIY project, and you’ll be able to customize it to fit what you want and to be the right colors for your girl or boy. You can use glitter like Alanna Foxx did in this tutorial or even add textures.

4) Captain America

If you’re a superhero fan, these letters would be perfect for your baby’s nursery. You can get comic book-themed letters like this Captain America one to spell your baby’s name. You can even make your own using some mod podge and some wooden letters from the craft store if your favorite superhero isn’t available. These may take some time to ship, so you’ll want to order these ahead of time. That said, it’s worth it to have an awesome nursery.

5) Scrabble Letter

One creative way to write your baby’s name on the wall is to use scrabble letters . This is a neat way to incorporate a toy into the nursery design, and the enlarged tiles will look fun to adults who are used to seeing the smaller version. You can get the exact letters you need from Amazon here and even get hearts or write a message with them since they have “&” symbols available. These are the five by six versions, but they also come in multiple sizes.

If you want something two-dimensional that won’t stick out from the wall and be easy to knock down, vinyl letters could be the best solution. They don’t stick out at all, unlike many letter choices, and you can pick a color that still creates contrast against the wall color. They should be easy to remove, so you don’t have to worry about residue when you take them off later. You can use these directions to stick vinyl lettering to the wall, but make sure to check the instructions on the ones you pick, too.

If you’re an old-fashioned person or love old-fashioned designs, you can get nursery letters that match that preference. For example, these shabby chic nursery letters are teal and look old and worn out. They’re designed to look like the paint has worn off, and the teal color creates a soothing look that’s perfect for an old-fashioned beach cottage style. The worn look will fit in a farmhouse nursery and the teal is a blue shade that works for both boys and girls.

If you’re having a little girl and love flowers, you can use them as decorations for your wall letters or decals. This might mean that you’ll get some wooden letters, paint them, and glue fake flowers to them, but you can also get premade decals like this one. These wall letters will spell your baby’s name and have the images of a ring of roses around them, making them beautiful decorations for a little girl’s nursery. 

9) DIY Gold Striped

If you like a glam style or metallic paint, you might enjoy this wall letter style. You can use these instructions to make gold-striped letters with a genuine metallic look. This will create a glamorous nursery for your baby girl or boy and show that you’re giving them only the best, even if the gold isn’t real. You can also make similar letters with silver metallic paint and different colored stripes since white won’t stand out against silver. 

10) Big Light-Up Letters

If you want to illuminate the nursery just a little bit, light-up letters might be a good choice since you can decorate with light and light up the room at the same time. You can get big letters like these that have built-in lights, but make sure that you choose a color that’ll stand out against your walls and look good when the room is lit up, too. These letters are nice because they’re battery-powered so you won’t have cords hanging all over the walls.

11) Distressed Whitewash

If you want a rustic, farmhouse, or even beach look, you can use distressed whitewashed letters . These would go wonderfully with any whitewashed distressed furniture, but also look good on their own. Add these to a plain white nursery to create an instant farmhouse look with minimal effort and without placing a lot of decorations that could be easy to trip over or would take a lot of effort to set up. There’s no reason to make having a baby any harder than it has to be!

12) DIY Colors and Patterns

If you want a lot of color in your nursery, you might have to make your own letters since a lot of store-bought letters have simple designs. For simple but colorful letters, you can use a tutorial like this. The letters in this tutorial have different patterns and colors that’ll be stimulating for your little one and also look fun and cute to you. Since you’ll be making your own letters, you can choose the colors and patterns that look best to you and fit the letter shapes you’re using.

13) Woodland Decal

There’s no reason that your letters need to be isolated and plain. You can get coordinated decals with all the letters you need, and even add images to them. For a simple, all-in-one design that saves you time and energy, you can get a custom woodland name decal like this. It not only comes with the letters you choose but also a decal of a cartoon forest and some cute woodland creatures to look after your little one.

14) Farmhouse Wood Tile Look

Wood tiles are one of the more unusual wall letter designs since most people opt for wall pieces that are shaped like letters. Normally, letter-shaped pieces would seem more creative, but in this case, these square blocks with letters look like wood tiles that fit a farmhouse look. They’re similar to scrabble tiles but have a worn, painted look that’ll lend a farmhouse look to any plain nursery. This is a quick way to alter your theme significantly.

15) DIY Glitter

If you like glitter, there’s no reason you should have to pay a lot of money for glittery letters. It’s not hard to make your own nursery letters with a little assistance or guidance, and glittery letters can create a glamorous look that shows you’ll go all-out for your baby. You can use this tutorial to create three-dimensional glitter letters for a glam room. Try choosing colors that match your theme, such as adding glitter pink letters to a pink and gray nursery for a little extra pizazz.

16) Oversized

If you want to make a bold statement, oversized letters can be a neat way to do that. You can get large letters like this that are almost two feet tall and put them over your baby’s crib, either as a single monogram letter for their first name or spelling their full first name or initials. Since these ones come blank, you can paint them any way you want, from adding glitter paint to solid colors to stripes or polka dots. You can even use mod podge to add printed designs to them.

17) Dinosaur

If you’re thinking about creating a dinosaur-themed nursery or if you loved dinosaurs as a child and want your baby to have an awesome dinosaur-themed nursery, you can use dinosaur nursery letters to add to that theme. This decal from Amazon is a set of customized letters with dinosaur cutouts . You can choose the color you want when you click the customize button, along with the name of your child and the size of each letter. 

This idea is more creative than the rest and would likely get attention from anybody who came to visit the nursery. Instead of drawing letters on the wall or wood signs, you could use a window as your sign. This article shows you how you can design a window with letters on it . All you have to do is write your baby’s name on it instead! Try using window decals and then hanging the window as if it were a sign. This is perfect for a rustic or farmhouse look.

19) Cursive

Cursive is becoming a rare skill, but it has a beautiful look that’s ideal for a feminine space. If you want the letters in your little one’s nursery to look elegant and feminine, cursive letters are a good start. You can even get a complete set of letters customized so that the letters will flow properly into each other. This way, the word won’t look choppy. You can choose from a variety of colors and a few different sizes if you get these.

20) DIY Hanging Wall Letters

If you’re looking for a great nursery idea and a unique way to present the letters, then making hanging letters could add a new dimension to the room without a lot of extra effort. You can use this article to decorate letters and hang them from a curtain rod on the wall. The unusual way that they’re hung up, along with bright colors and patterns, will catch your infant’s eye, along with the interest of any guests. Make sure to coordinate the colors and patterns with the rest of the room.

21) Initial Letter Background

The first letter of your baby’s name will almost definitely be the first one they learn, so it’s one of the most significant. One way to highlight this letter is to get letters with a monogram of the first letter behind the rest of the name.

Get your russian visa invitation letter.

A Russian visa invitation letter is also called Russian tourist invitation or Russian visa support or Russian tourist voucher. This document, together with a valid visa, is needed for most nationals to be able to travel to Russia on tourism. You will have to submit a copy of the Russian visa invitation letter at the consulate. And, that’s not all, some of the information on the document will be used to fill the online visa application form. Application for a Russian visa invitation letter on our website takes less than 5 minutes.

You can use this document to request a single entry or double entry visa for a maximum stay of 30 days. A double-entry visa will allow you to enter Russia two times on the same visa within a 30-day period. The  business invitation  is the sure deal for those who intend to stay longer than 30 days. The Russian visa invitation letter can be for  common tourism ,  aim tourism , auto tourism or hunting tourism.

The Embassy or Consulate of the Russian Federation in your country of residence will issue you a Russian visa. You may have to visit the Russian embassy or consulate in person to get a visa. The Russian consulates in some countries, however, outsource visa processing to agencies. You can use an agency for your visa application if it is available in your country of visa application. But note that you need a Russian tourist invitation in both instances.

Russian Visa Invitation Letter: What Does it Look Like?

As shown above, a Russian visa invitation letter consists of two parts: a foreign traveller entry permit and a tourist voucher. A company accredited by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has the authorization to issue this document.  

The tourist invitation is issued in an A4 paper format. It must bear the stamps and the signature of the registered Russian tour operator that issued it. Not that only, the invitation will contain your personal data, all the cities you will visit in Russia, and information about the hotel(s) you will be staying in Russia. The invitation also contains a six-digit confirmation number, the company name, address and reference number of the tour agency.

Electronic vs Original Copy of the Invitation Letter

We send you the Russian visa invitation letter in PDF format.  Apply here and get it after payment confirmation . Once you receive it on your email, download and print a copy for submission at the Russian consulate or visa centre. In most cases, the print-out of the electronic copy of the tourist invitation is enough for visa application.

The consulate accepts an electronic copy of the invitation for citizens of Europe, the USA and Canada, and many other countries. However, the Russian consulate may require the original invitation for some countries. This is sometimes the case for a few migration risk countries such as Morocco, Iraq, etc. We advise that you confirm from the Russian consulate in your country of visa application to be sure if the electronic copy is enough.   

Do note that we no longer send original copy of Russian invitation as the Russian consulate in most countries (except high migration risk countries) accept the printed PDF copy.
