To provide our children with the skills to be resilient independent and respectful individuals who have a love of learning and seek opportunities to challenge themselves in everything they do. developing social emotional and academic skills, 

We want to provide children with experiences that will foster and nurture a love of learning whilst developing social emotional and academic skills. We take the time to get to know children, as individuals, ensuring that each child’s experience is tailored to their needs and fascinations and build trusting relations.  

The aims of the Nursery are: 

• To provide a safe and exciting environment in which children are encouraged to take risks and thrive. 

• To provide an engaging environment and active learning experiences which take account of, and respond to, the children’s developmental needs and interests.  

• To provide a curriculum which offers purposeful play opportunities and promotes the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage. 

• To ensure we build children’s resilience by creating positive learning experiences of success at achievable levels for each individual child. 

• To ensure children are ‘Set for Success’ in later life, understanding how to be safe, develop positive and respectful relationships and stay healthy. 

• To create a partnership with parents and the local community that supports and enhances the development of the children.
