Building trust with parents or carers will result in them knowing that the nursery is a very good place for their child as it offers a great amount of help and support, which is especially important for new parents or carers. Other professionals It is also important to partner with other professionals as they will offer the support and services, where needed, to improve the overall development of the child. For example, a speech and language therapist may assist a child with communication difficulties. Another example would be a play therapist to diagnose, prevent or resolve a child with psychosocial challenges. Multi-disciplinary teams It is very important that everyone in a multi disciplinary team work in partnership.
Children in their early years may have a range of needs and the way that we work together as practitioners can have a positive impact on their health, development and learning. For example, a teacher may have noticed that one of the young children in the class may not respond sometimes when their name is called and they sometimes do not do their work but when they are shown what to do they carry out their work perfectly. The teacher suspects that the child may have difficulty hearing but without the help of a medical professional she would not be able to check the child’s hearing and try and find an outcome helpful to the needs of the child and vice versa. If the teacher did not pass on information to the medical representative they would not be aware of any problems. Therefore just even two agencies working together and sharing information can have a positive outcome.
Skills in how to communicate effectively with both the pediatric patient and their parents are important for a nurse to foster to maintain good therapeutic relationships. Person centred care becomes family centred care when babies and children are the patients. The dependent nature of the patient increases the need for parental responsibility and advocacy for the child. It is important for all members of the family to be taken into account when nursing a pediatric patient, especially the primary caregivers and siblings. Chochinov, 2007 (cited in Cornwell & Goodrich, 2009), states simply that compassion is ‘a deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it.’ Pediatric patients and their families are highly sensitive to the compassionate nature of health care professionals and a successful therapeutic relationship with them depends on the sensitive, compassionate care offered by the nurse.

Safeguarding Safeguarding is a term for the protection of people with a strong emphasis on prevention. when this refers to children many organisations could be involved within that process such as schools, social workers, GP and other medical or therapeutic services. All these may be needed to ensure the child's well-being and be a long-term help to the whole family. Safeguarding is important as it means all adults working with children have a responsibility to protect children from harm, we should always report our concerns so that the appropriate action can be taken and the right agencies involved to help resolve the issue raised. Dwelling on and ignoring our concerns only increases the risk to the child.
An advantage of this theory is that it drives parents to encourage their children at a young age to build up a large self-esteem; their sense of self-worth. A disadvantage of this theory is that the theories have been considered naïve and optimistic as it disregards the darker aspects of human nature. Like psychodynamic theories, humanistic theories are difficult to scientifically
A secure attachment is where someone is always there for the child to make the child feel safe, secure and comforted. John Bowlby believed that children who have a secure attachment are more confident and are more likely to go off on their own to explore different things but only knowing that they can go back to their main carer at any time. (Working with life experiences pp26-27).The child becomes dependant on their primary carer and this can be identified from a very young age, and as the child gets older they will still turn to their primary carer whenever they are hurt or upset. John Bowlby believed that if the child does not have a secure attachment (main carer) when they are young then they are more likely to be disruptive and could have attachment problems throughout adulthood.

Education (schools) and childcare (nurseries) is mostly the concern of the local education authority.

Nurseries help young children to develop their gross motor skills through play and teach them to interact with other children.
