We set out to assist all children attending the nursery to attain their maximum potential within their perceived capabilities. An individual record of each child's development is maintained, showing their abilities, progress and areas needing further staff or parental assistance. We acknowledge that children learn in different ways and at different rates and plan for this accordingly.

The staff are very aware of the importance of the positive play environment for the child, so they may develop good social skills and an appreciation of all aspects of this country's multi-cultural society. Planning of the learning experience by the staff is further designed to ensure, as far as practical, equality of opportunity between all children and celebrates diversity.

We promote the relevant frameworks and curriculum set by the EYFS to support and enhance children’s learning and development holistically through play based activities. We view all aspects of learning and development as equally important, and ensure a flexible approach is maintained, which responds quickly to children’s learning and developmental needs. We develop tailor made activities according to each child’s individual needs and interests, which are based on observations to enable future planning. Is promoted through a balance of adult led and child initiated opportunities both indoors and outdoors.

We acknowledge parents as primary educators and encourage parental involvement as outlined in our parents as partners policy. We build home links in order to enhance and extend children’s learning both within the nursery environment and in the child’s home.
