Our aims and Ofsted

Children are admitted to Playgroup on a non-discriminatory basis and we seek to promote equal opportunities for all.
We acknowledge and value each child’s individual needs.
We realise that parents and carers are the childs first contact for development.

The principles which guide our work are grouped into four themes:

A Unique Child - Development, inclusion, safety, health, well being.

Positive Relationships - respect, partnership with parents/carers, supporting learning, role of the key person.

Enabling Environments - observation, assessment, planning, support for every child, the learning environment, transitions, continuity, multi agency working.

Learning and Development - children develop and learn in different ways and rates, all areas of learning and development are equally important and inter-connected.
 1) Personal, social and emotional development
 2) Communication, language and literacy
 3) Problem Solving, reasoning and numeracy
 4) Knowledge and understanding of the world
 5) Physical development
 6) Creative development
