The preschool is dedicated to fostering confident, creative, and curious young minds. Their curriculum is rooted in the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, tailored to individual interests, and incorporates elements of The Curiosity Approach to encourage exploration and wonder. The staff, all qualified to Level 3 in Early Years, Children's Care, Learning and Development, are deeply committed to continuous professional development, indicated by specialised in-house training in areas like Makaton, sensory processing, and schematic play. The preschool prides itself on its strong key person system, ensuring each child forms a trusting bond with a practitioner who supports their unique development towards independence and confidence. Communication is enhanced through the use of Makaton and visual aids, which has positively impacted children's early speech and language. Our ethos We strive to provide children with a safe, exciting and nurturing environment where they can explore the awe and wonder of the world around them. Children learn to be curious and creative little thinkers using their Hands, Heart and Head (Characteristics of Effective Learning) through meaningful interactions and sustained shared thinking. We aim for children to reach high levels of engagement in their chosen activities and for practitioners to scaffold their learning with teachable moments and open ended questions. We have a strong key person system where each child has a warm and trusting relationship with a key person and practitioners endeavour to support each child to be unique, confident and independent individuals ready for the next stage in their learning. We use Makaton and visual aids to support communication and language skills which has had a positive impact on children’s early speech and language as fed back to us from our families. We have a fantastic team of dedicated practitioners who each bring their own unique flare and passion to the setting, working together to create a safe place where children can thrive and learn through play. What it's like Children are warmly greeted by the staff and confidently settle into the routine of the day, demonstrating excellent social skills and kindness towards their friends and staff. They benefit from an inviting and stimulating learning environment that supports meaningful play, and staff skilfully adapt interactions to build on children's existing knowledge and skills.
