Aims and Objectives of our Nursery

  • To be aware of and respect everyone’s individual, physical and cultural needs by providing an equal opportunities setting.
  • To encourage parental involvement and acknowledge the importance of this, by offering continuity of contact with staff.
  • To provide a safe and stimulating environment in which children feel secure, valued and confident.
  • To provide a relevant early years curriculum which builds on the child’s previous experiences to promote future learning and development of their physical, personal, emotional, social and intellectual abilities.
  • To work effectively and equally as a team, respecting and being aware of each other’s roles and responsibilities.
  • To utilise skills in observing, recording and assessing children, which aids curriculum planning and the sharing of information with parents and other staff.
  • To afford opportunities for children to be actively involved in their own learning, with a strong emphasis on play and talking.
  • To maintain a well-organised physical environment with access to appropriate resources both inside and out, and to give due attention to health and safety considerations.
  • To employ well-trained staff, who can understand and respond to the needs of individual children, structure and support their learning appropriately.
  • To be consistently aware of staff/child ratios at all times in order to maintain the highest possible standards.
  • To set down appropriate and acceptable behavioural guidelines which will be consistent throughout the nursery.
  • To continually update personal and professional development in order to enhance the skills and knowledge of the staff team.
