Our Mission

Our Pre-school provides a warm, safe and happy environment where your child will enjoy a wide range of stimulating learning activities appropriate to their age and stage of development.

 

Every child is unique, and we work hard to support each child to realise their full potential. Your child's well-being and development is at the heart of everything we do. 

Children who feel safe and secure are better able to learn and develop while enjoying their pre-school years. 

We tailor our planning of activities to meet your child's individual needs and take into account their age and stage of development, which means that children who are gifted and those who have special needs, are supported and enabled to make good progress in their learning.

Our Aims 

• To make sure your child is in a safe and stimulating environment.

• To make sure your child is given generous care and attention, through our ratio of qualified staff to children.

• To make sure your child has the chance to join in with other children to play, work and learn together.

• To make sure your child is supported to take forward their learning and development by building on what they already know and can do.

• To make sure your child has a key person who supports and encourages their development and learning.

• To make sure our setting has a strong partnership with parents that work together and help each child to reach their full potential.

• Making sure our setting is working together with parents helps to shape the service we offer.

Statements from Ofsted

 Children enter the pre-school where kind and gentle staff greet them. They settle quickly, seek out their friends and engage in play. Staff implement a key-person system well and confidently identify children's next steps. Children are comfortable to approach their key person and do so with ease. They feel secure and safe, and they are happy while at the pre-school. Children behave well and positively interact with their peers. Staff remind children of the pre-school rules, and children listen and respond well to instructions. Staff are good role models, and children show respect for staff and their peers alike. This helps to support children's personal, social and emotional development well. 

Staff have a particular focus on communication and language. For example, they use other ways to communicate with children other than spoken words, such as by using sign language. Children learn new words through conversations with staff and play with their peers. Those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are particularly well-supported. Staff ensure that the environment supports their inclusion well. For example, they provide a quiet and enclosed sensory area, which allows children to take some time on their own to calm down if needed. All children make good progress.
