Our ethos

Our vision is to provide the best childcare environment for children that is a reflection of their home and the community they live in. At Hummingbirds we celebrate and value the different cultures in our community and we welcome all to our setting. We aim for Hummingbirds to be a caring, nurturing and homely environment in which children and families feel welcome, safe, valued, listened to, included and respected. We believe that we are the anchor for children to grow, learn and deepen their knowledge that will not only prepare them for school, but prepare them for their journey into the wider world. We aim to provide the best possible start in life for children. By recognising that each child is unique and have come into nursery with their own set of experiences, we use parents as our partners to identify each child’s starting point and aim to use this alongside their growing interests to provide rich learning experiences that will form a strong foundation for their future learning and success. At Hummingbirds Nursery, we aim to provide children with rich learning opportunities to expand on their existing curiosity, enthusiasm and awe and wonder of the world. As a result, we intend for children to build their confidence and develop a positive image of themselves as resilient, capable and independent individuals. We want children to be able to communicate, develop social skills, be confident in new environments, overcome challenges, be good citizens and be ready for their next stage of learning.
