Learning through Play
Children are offered high-quality play activities and resources, which enable them to engage in active learning through fun and stimulating experiences.
The daily routine is organised to allow as much free-play as possible whereby children can explore and learn with minimal interruption.
Adult initiated small and large group times take place at the beginning and end of the nursery session, whereby short, carefully planned activities allow practitioners to focus on a particular area of learning.
Each child's learning is documented through practitioner and parent observations and photographs in their individual learning journal.
Environment
We offer a natural environment whereby children can choose to play indoors or outdoors, and move freely between the two. This provides children the opportunity to be physically active and develop their physical skills.
Our environments are arranged to encourage children to be independent and access the resources needed for each adventure.
We are committed to making sure that all children are safe and protected whilst in our care.
The resources are age and stage appropriate and our committed team are always available to support.
Relationships
Each child is allocated a key person who is responsible for promoting a positive and nurturing relationship, and for providing a secure base from which the child can feel safe to explore and play.
Each key person has a 'buddy' who will undertake the roles of key person to individual children during periods of absence.
We recognise the strong value of relationships between parents and practitioners and encourage parents to work with practitioners in facilitating children's learning and development whilst at nursery.
Inclusive Practice
Children with additional needs, including those with special educational needs and those who have English as an additional language, are extremely well supported.
Childrens' individual needs are carefully considered and planned for, making sure that each child is provided with the opportunity to reach his or her own potential. The routine, environment and activities are all adaptable according to the individual needs of each child.
