LEARNING
We aim to nurture children's curiosity and encourage them to explore and develop at their own pace to reach their full potential.
We promote an atmosphere of mutual respect and encouragement, where learning through play and appropriate interaction with others makes for happy, confident, sociable and enthusiastic learners, who look forward to future challenges.
A strong partnership between home and preschool is created, liaising closely with parents, other professionals and linking with our community.
Our young learners are starting to develop their understanding of these values through a wide range of teaching and learning opportunities across the EYFS curriculum.
At Pre School we encourage independence across all areas of learning and development. We promote respect for others, turn taking and role model behaviour. We encourage children to express their feelings positively and begin to understand the opinions of others through discussions with their peers.
We have a large, free flowing classroom to allow the children space to play as well as areas to learn, with immediate access to the garden.
Outside we have a variety of apparatus, along with a mud kitchen and growing area.
We also have a small area of garden which we use for our younger children. This has a variety of age appropriate resources, and provides a quiet environment for learning and play.
Holly our forest school leader visits regularly.
We have yoga sessions every half term, which the children really enjoy.
