To transform the lives of the children and families we work with, through creating a nursery which feels like home with an extended and supportive family environment.
- to provide a safe, caring, nurturing, welcoming and enabling environment for children to play, learn and develop.
- to enhance children’s learning and development, by watching, listening and providing them with the tools they require to go about their ‘work’; Play is children’s work: it is natural, essential and instinctive. Children learn through play.
- to promote positive attitudes to self and others and encourage and develop a sense of identity.
