As an Ofsted and PSLA registered organisation, we aim to meet the child’s individual needs within the setting and enable them to make maximum progress towards the Early Learning Goals of the EYFS (please see the ‘Parents Guide to the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework’ booklet in your starter pack). More importantly, we believe that our overall aim is to provide a happy and secure environment in which children can develop personally, socially and emotionally, recognising that we are the foundation stone upon which their future education is built. We strive to promote and encourage independence, self-esteem, tolerance and an awareness of other people’s needs to enable children to acquire and share values which enrich their lives and those of others.
