Our principles are guided by the principles of the EYFS

A Unique Child:

Every child is a unique learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.

• The development of confidence and positive self-esteem are integral to learning.

Positive Relationships:

Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person.

• Early childhood is the foundation on which children build the rest of their lives. It is not just a preparation for the next stage, it is vitally important in itself.
• The relationships which children establish with adults and other children are of central importance to their development.

Enabling Environments:

The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children’s development and learning.

• Children learn more effectively when they are actively involved and interested.
• Independence is promoted through a process of sustained shared thinking with adults and other children.

Learning and Developing:

Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates and all areas of Learning and Development are equally important and inter-connected.

• Children develop emotionally, intellectually, morally, physically socially and spiritually and at different rates. All aspects of development are equally important and are interwoven.
• What children can do rather than what they cannot do, are the starting points in their learning.
• There are many forms of intelligence and at this setting we recognize, value and celebrate all of them.
