Guest Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 I was just wonder if anyone had an example of a questionnaire that they send out to parents, regarding the service they offer, child's progress, etc etc My next assignement is on 'commuicating with parent's' but I am hoping that it will also give an insight into what they really think!!. I find that in my setting, parents cannot wait to rush out the door, they dont ever read the notice boards and often when a letter's been written and handed directly to them, they still dont seem to read them or take in the information!!?? Thank you in advance Jenni B

Guest JPH Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 This is format adapted from the PLA QA scheme - don`t know if it is of any use? Parents’ questionnaire How long has your child been attending pre-school? Less than 6 months? 6 – 12 months? more than 12 months? How old is your child? 3 – 4 years old? 4 – 5 years old? Please complete the following questions by ticking in the appropriate space. Please ensure every question is answered YES, No or NOT SURE. If you feel a question is not applicable please write N/A and state why. When you first visited pre-school were you given a warm welcome? YES NO NOT SURE As a new parent were you supplied with information about the pre-school? YES NO NOT SURE Was there any information you would like to have received, but didn’t? YES NO NOT SURE If YES, please specify. Were you given the opportunity to settle your child into pre-school in a way that suited your child? YES NO NOT SURE Does pre-school provide you with the opportunity to: Talk to your keyworker? YES NO NOT SURE Contribute to your child`s records and play plans? YES NO NOT SURE Discuss your child`s daily routine and progress regularly? YES NO NOT SURE Stay in the pre-school if you wish? YES NO NOT SURE Do you feel welcome and at ease in pre-school? YES NO NOT SURE Do you receive enough information about the activities on offer? YES NO NOT SURE If NO, please specify. Do you feel you know what your child is learning in pre-school? YES NO NOT SURE Are you encouraged to offer your skills to help with the running of pre-school? YES NO NOT SURE Are you encouraged to be involved in the pre-school’s management in any way, YES NO NOT SURE eg by serving on the committee? If you had a complaint, would you know whom to approach? YES NO NOT SURE What do you like best about pre-school What do you like least? What changes, if any, would you like to see in pre-school? Any other comments you would like to make? Thank you for your help.
Guest Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Thank you both for those examples, they are brilliant and help loads!! Thanks again jenni B
Beau Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Jenni, I think that the most important thing to think about before you put out a questionnaire is what exactly it is you want to find out. Recently our committee put out one, but because the chair didn't like 'tick sheet' type answers the questions were very open and led to diverse replies. However, this has been difficult to collate and address because the initial questioning wasn't clear enough.
stedeford Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 this is the questionaire we used. Parents wrote lots of comments on the back and it was a very useful exercise Parent_Questionnaire.doc
Guest Posted April 26, 2007 Posted April 26, 2007 We have used this questionnaire format twice and found it extremely useful. It is largely based on the EPPE project and Ofsted loved it both times! questionnaire_for_parents.doc
Guest Wolfie Posted April 26, 2007 Posted April 26, 2007 That's a great questionnaire, thank you for sharing it with us - I'm not surprised Ofsted loved it!
