The nursery fosters a play-based learning approach, believing it to be the most effective way for children to acquire new skills and knowledge.

They emphasise creating a fully inclusive setting, where various communication styles are embraced, and activities are adapted to be accessible for all children, including those with neurodiverse needs.

A key aspect of their philosophy is the "Curiosity Approach," which encourages independent learning and critical thinking through open-ended play with natural resources. They believe in cultivating happy, independent learners who understand British values and diversity, preparing them to contribute meaningfully to society.

Our ethos

The most important thing to your child is our priority. By creating an enabling environment where your child feels safe, loved and empowered they are more likely to take their own steps onto the learning journey, and we will be there to support every step they take, providing learning opportunities that they will be stimulated by and find enjoyment in. By practising a family centred approach utilising parent partnership, we observe what is most important to your child and tailor how we can best support their individual circumstances and needs. Children are naturally curious- this is one of the reasons Rose Tree Day nursery in Wirral is following the Curiosity approach. We want your child to become an effective learner and have resources that are readily available for them to initiate independent learning. The curiosity approach means that we use lots of natural resources that a child can use their imagination by encouraging lots of Open-ended play. Children are amazing, developing little humans. They are the future of society and enabling them to have opportunities that they can learn about British values and diversity during their early years can help support them into in the future being able to contribute valuably to society. They are learning all the time about the world around them and it is our privilege to present as many exciting learning opportunities as possible. To see a child learning, developing and achieving, to problem solve and overcome obstacles and watch their sense of achievement grow is a real wonder to behold. Happy children are more confident learners, by creating learning opportunities around personal, social and emotional development and by promoting parent partnership we can ensure all aspects of the child’s life is recognised, best promoting a happy child. Independent – We value the importance of encouraging independent learning, helping your child learn during their early years the importance of decision making. This encourages your child to be creative and gives them the ability to think critically. Loved – a feeling of being loved at home and at nursery is so important for a child to feel a sense of belonging. We allocate all children their own keyworker to ensure that their emotional needs are met, this is fundamental for their learning and development in other areas. We present learning opportunities which help the children to learn about equality and diversity so as they can understand kindness and inclusivity. Diet – Children have a right to be nourished with healthy food which supports healthy growth and development. At our nursery we have a specialised catering service which meets all dietary requirements and follows guidance. In recognising the holistic needs of a child, healthy choices include promoting excellent dental care which is why we allocate each child their own toothbrush and we support each child to learn this important self-care activity with us.
