Pre-School Visions

We create environments and deliver teaching and learning that support each child’s individual developmental pathway of progression through all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Our Rich Environment Plans (REP’s) demonstrate the high expectations we have of our children and the Intention, Implementation, and Impact of our planned and in the moment teachings. This effective pedagogy provides numerous opportunities for the acquisition of skills and knowledge with all ages.

Our Visions

Pre-School Policies

Our policies are in place to protect our staff, parents and children across a comprehensive range of topics. From our confidentiality policy to fire evacuation, the policies are detailed documents that regulate the way we operate to ensure the Pre-School environment is safe, professional and fair throughout everything we do. Policies are available in the foyer and can be forwarded on request.
