Our Learning Environment
OUR LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
The statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) states that children learn and develop well in enabling environments. An enabling environment is one which provides a rich, varied and safe space in which children can play, explore and learn.
We are committed to providing quality teaching and learning through continuous provision. Our environments encourage children to explore, to go on a adventures together and to develop into happy, confident and independent individuals. Nursery School is often a child's first venture alone into the larger world outside the family home. What children experience and learn at nursery school creates strong, lasting foundations which they build from in later life. We believe it is essential that these experiences are of the highest quality. To make this experience the best it can possibly be, we create environments that nurture every child's physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.
Our environment is a place where children develop into happy, confident and independent individuals. Our motto is:
'Happy Children Learn'.
Our indoor and outdoor environments have been well planned, organised and resourced with clean, high quality resources to promote curiosity and learning.
