Nursery will encourage children to express themselves as individuals through a variety of experiences and activities in a safe, secure, caring, healthy and all inclusive environment. ? To promote a healthy lifestyle within nursery thus we encourage high personal hygiene/care. Nursery offers a balanced and nutritious menu to promote healthy eating and gives equal opportunities for both indoor and out door play experiences for physical play and movement. ? All staff have clear expectations of the children and recognises their individual needs and abilities, providing them opportunities for freedom to grow. Nursery encourages the children to express themselves and demonstrate their feelings within the activities and provision we provide through planned and balanced play opportunities; together with appropriate materials and equipment we ensure that this is possible. We aim to teach our children the basic knowledge and alongside practical skills to help prepare the children for the next step, while making sure that the children have achievable goals to work towards. ? Having well organised staff and consistent routines we are able to observe children's individual achievements and make regular assessments. The staff and children are encouraged to develop a caring and respectful attitude to one and other, regardless of race, religion, gender, background or additional needs and we promote a friendly environment, which encourages positive behaviour and life-skills, treating and valuing one another, as we ourselves would like to be treated. ? Through interaction, communication and listening to the children and parents we are able to give their ideas and wishes due consideration and by putting those ideas into action where possible it will help the children develop ? Skills for the future and together make a positive contribution to our nursery?s future. ? Early childhood experiences are the foundations which children build their future so it is important that as a team and with our parents we offer every opportunity as first educators to cement in good practice.
