Aims

We aim to inspire children to discover that learning is fascinating, meaningful and fun. We aim to develop happy, considerate, self confident and independent children.

We work to achieve this by:

  • Providing a welcoming, happy and safe place where there is time for laughter and joy in learning together.
  • Providing high quality education and care based on our professional knowledge of how young children learn.
  • Offering a safe, well planned, imaginative, stimulating and challenging environment both indoors and outside where it is accepted that powerful learning often involves making mistakes.
  • Encouraging and supporting children to develop a positive self-image and attitude to learning so that they can achieve their best socially, creatively, intellectually and physically.
  • Forming a close partnership with parents and carers, who we value as children's first and most enduring educators.
  • Valuing each child and respecting their family and background, thus engendering mutual respect and understanding.
  • Building a strong partnership with the community, including future schools.
  • Providing opportunities for children to learn through self-chosen, independent and supported play, taken at their own pace.
  • Encouraging children to solve problems and become independent thinkers.
  • Being articulate advocates for Nursery Schools and promoting the importance of high quality foundation stage education.
  • Celebrating, supporting and providing ongoing professional development for the high quality, positive and enthusiastic staff team.
