Our approach to childcare
In each of our nurseries we:
- provide a caring environment that is safe, happy, stable and secure;
- enable opportunities for meaningful play and help children to be independent and self-motivated;
- encourage a positive, praising environment promoting a child's self-esteem;
- promote and develop social responsibility and self-discipline;
- help children to develop good language and communication skills;
- help to foster within children the belief that learning is fun;
- work in close partnership with parents and carers;
- encourage boys and girls to be active and nurturing;
- provide education promoting a balance of child led and adult led activities;
- help children to develop fine and large motor skills;
- provide opportunities for active, outdoor play;
- observe, assess and record the children’s development to ensure continuity and progression; and
- facilitate a smooth transition from nursery to primary school.
