About this day nursery

Haxey Pre-School CIO is dedicated to delivering high-quality care and education for children aged 2-4 years. They implement the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, focusing on a child-centred approach to provide various fun, exciting, and engaging activities.

These activities and resources are tailored to the children's current interests and individual developmental and learning needs. The pre-school operates from 8 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday, during term-time.

They adopt a flexible, play-based learning programme designed to help each child reach their full potential, building essential foundations for their future education. The curriculum is structured around Prime Areas such as Personal Social and Emotional Development, Physical Development, and Communication and Language, as well as Specific Areas like Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding of the World, and Expressive Art and Design.

Haxey Pre-School emphasises a progressive and sequenced curriculum to foster children's independence, confidence in communication, turn-taking skills, and curiosity in learning. They also actively involve parents and carers in their child's progress through a secure app called 'Famly', which allows for sharing information and observations.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff know children very well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They have a good understanding of what each child can currently do well and use observations and children's interests to help them develop and embed their skills and knowledge further. However, some children, including those with SEND, do not fully benefit from planned group activities as staff do not take account of their varying abilities.

Outdoor space

While outside, children get fresh air and learn about the world around them as they play in the large soil and mud area. They are able to develop their physical skills as they carry buckets and use their whole bodies to dig and push the soil.
