PARENTS!
Be sure to foster your child’s interests as they can stay with your child for life!
Teacher Maysoon’s son Abdullah has just been given an award in an international architecture and design competition. Abdullah first showed an interest in building design right here at An Nur when he was enrolled here. These are some pictures and extracts from his profile book during his time here at An Nur.
25 - 06 - 2001
Abdullah made this wonderfully creative block construction independently during the morning. This shows his understanding and mastery of the use of blocks. This block creation is an excellent example of his creativity and balance skills.
08 - 02 - 2002
Abdullah spends a lot of his free time in the block area making some amazing creations. He has a well developed sense of balance, shape and form in his buildings and he draws his designs from his environment. Many of them have a relation to the mosque design.

Our assessor thought that we have done an amazing job and have worked very hard to maintain a healthy environment, especially considering all of the disruptions with the earthquakes.
Our centre showed that we have good, strong relationships with our community and we make keeping them informed a priority. Our learning stories showed that we provide lots of interesting and interactive experiences and lessons. They really liked how we place alot of emphasis on the celebrations of our culture and religeon, as well as lots of opportunities with the worm farm, vegetable garden and cooking activities.
Well done to everyone, and keep up the good work!

- Each child has different developmental needs and expectations; but all the children in our care areto be nurtured.
- Each of their experiences with us should reinforce feelings of personal security.
- Every child should feel welcome to participate throughout the day.
- "Safety first"is the golden and abiding rule.
- Our programsalways have a large element of fun. BUT fun must not compromise safety.
- Allnew activities or resources should be assessed for their potential risks.
- Ourrelationship with parents is one of trust and open dialogue—a partnership in the interests of the child.
- Parents entrust their child to our care confident that we are vitally committed to their general wellbeingand safety.
- An-Nur Childcare is very much a "people business"
- Awarm and confident welcome speaks to parents about our commitment and dedication and shows that we recognise them as vital members of the centre community.
- Parents are assured that we are partners as they raise their young family.
- Making sure the child is clean and ready at the end of the day signals
our dedication to the welfareof the children in our care.

- The cohesiveness and organization of centre staff is the single most important factor in the quality and depth of care provided.
- A strong and united team which has clear roles and accountabilities, methods for addressing problems and issues, and methods for sharing tasks and maintaining high levels of morale will always provide superior care and win the loyalty and trust of parents.
- We operate under a range of standards including Acts of Parliament and government child care code. Knowing the standards and making them work for us is a recipe for a strong and growing centre which runs like clockwork and consistently attracts the praise, loyalty and respect of parents and the wider community.
- In addition to legislative standards, which we monitor through weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual audits, we have a range of special performance targets which relate to our customer service mission and our needs (as child care professionals) to develop and grow.
- Efficiency is about working smarter and following agreed processes to ensure that the workload is balanced, and to ensure that we can allocate as much time as possible to working on the physical, social, emotional and intellectual development of each individual child.
- Our results when working together as a united team are greater than those which can be achieved by working independently of one another.
- Fantastic child care is provided when a team shares tasks, sets common goals and maintains constant communication so that every child’s needs and interests remain in view.
- Information is shared in strict confidentiality.
