We encourage children to acquire confidence, develop positive attitudes to learning and relate constructively and harmoniously to other children and adults.
We work together to build the foundations of future learning and to develop thinking skills and positive attitudes. We want children to be happy, learn and to form friendships with others.
Our experience of early year’s education ensures that learning activities are planned appropriate for each child‘s stage of development. We believe that childhood is to be enjoyed and celebrated.
The activity board in the Pre School informs parents of the activities the children are offered on a daily basis.
We plan to include as much hands-on experience as possible and to allow children’s natural curiosity to lead them into new areas of learning. We teach children how to listen, talk, engage with each other, express themselves and how to develop confidence.
We plan and provide opportunities for all children to flourish and succeed in all they do within an environment where they feel safe, comfortable and valued.
