I just have one section on my child information sheet that says additional information you wish to share. When we go through the forms I indicate that that is where they can tell me anything that is not covered on other parts of the forms that they would like me to know.

Often the information comes out in the section on previous group experience where some will list church nursery. I do not do interviews Sunday mornings due to church so me giving them that info if we are setting up an appointment sometimes starts a conversation where they ask which church or say which church they go to if they do. I also mention in the interview how I handle holiday celebrations and it often comes out at that time with parents giving their beliefs on how they want them handled - especially Christmas/Halloween/Easter. It used to be one of those things I brought up when my kids were younger because I needed parents to know that I had some religious story books and at any time my kids might have left them in the playroom or have posted the picture they coloured in sunday school on the fridge, etc. I have a nativity scene they can play with at Christmas but I don't talk about it - I just call it our Christmas toy and it gets the same significance as the Santa's workshop toys.
