Learn through play ...
Each day your child's activities have been specifically planned and organised to ensure they are appropriate and specific to each age group.
Your child will only progress to the next stage when they are ready and when this has been discussed with you, and you are happy with this decision.
We follow an education programme that ensures your child receives the best possible start on their road to learning in a stimulating and encouraging setting.
For babies and toddlers (0-3 years) we use a system which recognises that the children need to develop and learn through interaction with people and exploration of the environment around them.
Divided into four 'Aspects', the system focuses on the skill and competence of babies and young children and highlights the relationship between growth, learning, development and the environment in which they are cared for and educated.
For 3-5 year olds (preschoolers), we follow a slightly different system more suited to the older children, this is split into six key areas:
- Personal, social and emotional development
- Communication skills, language and literacy
- Mathematics and numeracy
- General knowledge and understanding of the world
- Physical development
- Creative development
Each of the above skill areas has a set of stages that progress towards early learning goals and targets and we coordinate and plan activities which help meet the diverse needs of each child individually in order that they are prepared properly when it is time to start school.
Learning is encouraged through play and includes activities to involve each area.
Your child will be encouraged and supported every step of the way and a record will be kept of their personal development to ensure that their every need is met.
We actively encourage parents to develop relationships with the staff caring for your child as this makes it much easier for their transition from your own care to ours each day and you will always have a friendly and familiar face to turn to when you need to discuss something.
