“To value children as individuals, promote their confidence, and their excitement in learning.”
Whilst at Nursery your child will be involved in a wide range of activities with opportunities for both ‘structured’ and ‘free’ play. All our activities have a sound educational purpose behind them. Independent learning is encouraged, as is co-operation and consideration for others. We follow the interests of the children and extend their learning through play. Language and Communication is an important part of our curriculum.
Our provision is non-discriminatory, accessible and sensitive to race, gender, religion, culture, language, disability, sexuality and differing patterns of family life.
We intend/want our children to feel: safe, happy. Secure, joyful, confident, engaged, curious, independent, unique, kind, respectful. We also want our children to be: creative, capable, risk takers, problem solvers, and the best person that they can be. We wish for them to have a deep-rooted love of learning and to be ready for their transition to school.
We intend/want our staff to be: approachable, confident, highly skilled, patient, kind, respectful, creative, caring, organised, effective listeners, supportive team members, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and honest. We also intend for them to feel happy, valued, and respected at work. They will continuously strive to be the best that they can be, to have common values, and to share the same high expectations for our children.
We intend/want our families to: feel welcomed, happy, confident, respected, valued, included, and safe.
We intend for them to feel comfortable approaching us; that they are supported and listened to without judgment, and that they experience effective communication. We want them to feel that their individual cultures and lifestyle choices are respected.
We intend for them to work with us as partners and joint educators and to know that we have an ‘open door’ policy.
We are very proud to be federated with Highters Heath Nursery School. As executive headteacher, Mrs Pinnegar oversees the running of both schools. We are two distinct, separate schools, with a shared ethos, working together under the leadership of one Head Teacher. This ensures a consistent approach to teaching and learning for all children across both schools with increased capacity to meet the needs of children through sharing of knowledge and resources.
