Making memories by inspiring challenge and adventure!
Our vision is to be a positive influence upon every child’s life by encouraging them to become all they can be, to build life skills and thrive. We do this by ensuring a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment designed to foster children’s natural curiosity and creativity.
Our belief is that, given the security of a safe, caring and loving play space, each child’s confidence will bloom, enabling them to discover their individuality and to develop skills at their own pace in a culture of mutual respect and kindness.
Our broad and varied learning experiences will offer children the freedom to explore and investigate through play, to express ideas, be active, question thinking, problem solve, risk-assess and have a sense of pride in their achievements.
Aims
- To ensure that all individuals, regardless of their background, ability or differences, are valued and treated equally. Thus, creating an environment that welcomes and embraces diversity, where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported.
- To capture and enhance natural curiosity, building on the child’s potential for learning to nurture confident, capable and enthusiastic learners.
- To promote a culture of continuous professional development, creating an environment where learning is valued and supported every day.
- To promote effective partnership working with parents, children, staff and other agencies to support and improve outcomes for children.
