“We aim to create a safe, secure environment where all children, families and staff feel valued, empowered and happy to grow and learn together. Children actively learn through play and develop independence, confidence and self-esteem, skilfully supported by qualified practitioners who creatively make learning fun for everyone.”

​

​

We believe that:

•  Parent’s contributions are the foundations upon which we build and extend children’s learning.

• All children are unique individuals who learn and develop in different ways and at different rates.

• Every child has the right to have their individual needs recognised and fulfilled.

• Children’s opinions and interests must be listened to, recognised, valued and responded to.

• Children should know that their ideas and contributions are listened to and valued.

• Children are active learners who learn through playing and interacting with a wide variety of open-ended resources in an enabling and vibrant environment.

• All children should be encouraged to make independent choices.

• All children should be supported to manage their own self-care.

• All children should learn about healthy lifestyles.

• All children should be encouraged to experience risk and challenge in a safe and secure environment.

• Every member of staff is important and their contribution should be valued.

• The quality of the interaction between practitioners and children impacts upon the well-being and development of children.

• Practitioners must understand how children learn and develop and how to support individual children’s learning.

• Children thrive within the context of warm, caring relationships with trusted adults.

• Practitioners and volunteers working with children must be enthusiastic, committed, knowledgeable and empathetic team members.

• Children should learn about different people in their community and all around the world in a way that they can understand and relate to.

• Children need support to play and learn together, so that they learn to co-operate, resolve conflict and make friends.
