Our aims

To be committed to helping all children achieve the five key outcomes of ‘Every Child Matters’ (DfES, 2003)

• Being healthy

• Staying safe

• Enjoying and achieving

• Making a positive contribution

• Achieve economic wellbeing

By following the children’s interests and needs we will provide holistic learning experiences and play activities, in a rich and varied environment, to develop the knowledge, skills, understanding and attitudes that children will need to achieve the Early Years Foundation Stage ‘Early Learning Goals’ in all areas of the curriculum

To acknowledge children’s rights to experience and enjoy the essential and special nature of being outdoors and to learn through play and real experiences.

To stretch and challenge the children so they achieve the maximum they are able to and develop positive learning dispositions.

To ensure that we have a team of dedicated practitioners, mentored and led by qualified and experienced leaders.

To work in partnership with parents and other professionals to support each child’s care and education

To support reflective practice so that we are able to continually challenge and question what we do and why in order to develop new understandings and to improve.
