Aims

In partnership with parents like you, we aim to provide a caring and stimulating environment where each child will have the opportunity to develop fully in every aspect of their development. To this end it is the aim of the school that every child should be given opportunities to:

• Develop at his/her own rate through challenging, progressive play

• Learn to share with others and play co-operatively

• Appreciate and care for others and practise social skills

• Deepen and lengthen concentration through his/her natural spontaneous curiosity and interest

• Choose and explore a wide range of materials which allow him/her to express himself/herself appropriately and creatively

• Become aware of his/her body’s capabilities and limits in a safe environment

• Communicate thoughts, ideas and feelings clearly to both adults and other children

• Share the wonder and excitement created by books, stories, songs, rhymes, music and the natural environment

• Grow in self confidence, experience success and thus develop a good self image

• Enjoy the satisfaction of work well done and share with his/her parents

• Recognise the importance of learning outdoors and to play purposefully in the many outdoor spaces available at Nursery.
