Aims and Objectives

We aim to:

Provide a rich and exciting experience of learning which the children enjoy and which will instil in them the confidence to go on to develop good learning habits.
Meet the statutory requirements of Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
Provide children and staff with a safe, caring and stimulating environment in which they are able to express themselves freely.
Encourage the development of lively enquiring minds which will question and investigate as the children attempt to make sense of the world around them.
Encourage all children to become independent and to make their own decisions.
Encourage attitudes which are kind and trustworthy and are based on an understanding and respect for others, which will in turn develop into a sense of self-worth.
Have a policy of healthy eating, encouraging the children to develop good eating habits in line with parents wishes.
Develop a good outdoor learning environment with total access for the children at all times.
Ensure inclusion of all children, by planning a curriculum which reflects the needs of all children as individuals.
Promote equality amongst the children by providing non-biased environment in which children are able to access equipment that reflects cultural diversity.
Work closely with parents and other agencies, to ensure that the needs of all children are always met.
Have an open door policy for parents, so they can be fully invloved in their child's learning experience.
Ensure each child will develop to their full potential - physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually.
Ensure that children move onto their new setting or school prepared, confident and ready for the new challenges that face them. Also give support to those children who need to change schools mid-term in order to minimise their natural anxieties.
Ensure that staff continue to develop their own professional development and maintain a high level of knowledge of new aspects of childcare.
