Our fully qualified staff are responsible for the day-to-day running of the group. We ensure each child’s individual needs are met, using our observational skills and varying the activities accordingly.
The pre-school is governed by a parent committee, who are responsible for the governance and organisation of the pre-school. The committee consist of mainly parents of children at the pre-school and includes a chairperson, treasurer and secretary, and at least two other members, and are elected annually.
How the Pre-School is run
We are a registered Early Years provider, who undergoes Ofsted registration and education inspection. Our ethos of Learning Through Play uses a mixture of structured and child led play activities to promote the development of fine and gross motor skills, the first step before children can use writing tools successfully. While playing and communicating, children are also socialising, learning about the world around them, appreciating and using number, shape and size and developing physical and creative skills. Most important, however, is that they never stop having fun and that they enjoy being children.
The provision for children’s learning and development is guided by the Early years foundation stage, and all children are helped to learn and develop skills in three prime areas:
- communication and language
- physical development
- personal, social & emotional development
And four specific areas:
- literacy
- mathematics
- understanding the world
- expressive arts and design
