Aims and Objectives/Educational Policy

The nursery will aim to develop each child taking into account the individual cultural differences and varying abilities of the child to ensure that all children feel included, secure and valued. To give every child the opportunity to develop the skills required to realise their full potential. To work with all children through the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. Every effort will be made to encourage children to learn through their own investigation and discovery using the best possible methods to achieve this development.

Staff will be encouraged to pursue personal development relevant to this fundamental aim.
