A friendly atmosphere is created within our nursery environment, based on warm and caring relationships between our nursery staff and the children in their care. Children are encouraged to communicate and their attempts at conversations are valued to ensure their development, confidence and security in accordance to our British Values. Our nursery staff all act as role models within the setting and recognise that children lead by example and are constantly learning through observation. Common courtesy, mutual respect and patience are demonstrated at all times throughout the nursery.
Your child is allocated a “Key Person” within their room, who is responsible for your child’s well-being, ensuring your child feels individual, secure and cherished while they are away from home. Your child’s Key Person or their “buddy” in their absence will liaise with you at the end of each day, keeping you informed of your child’s experiences at nursery and ensuring you do not miss out on any aspect of your child’s day.
Nursery staff will carry out regular observations of every child in our care, ensuring your child’s learning and development incorporates their interests and needs. These observations cover all the areas of learning according to the framework as well as records of special moments, like kindness to others, r eating something for the first time and spontaneous moments which capture your child’s response to certain activities or events as they happen. All of your child’s experiences at nursery are recorded in the unique Learning Folders, enabling you to look over your child’s time at nursery for years to come.
