Children’s well-being is fundamental to good learning. So first we ensure that your child feels safe and secure and that he/she feels valued and of significance. You will find strengths are celebrated and weaknesses supported. Caring staff and generous pupil-staff ratios ensure that we know your child as an individual.
We use a variety of means to do this. We consider children’s individual learning styles. We offer extensive curricular and extra-curricular activities. We harness children’s interests and curiosity both indoors and outdoors. We invite visitors from outside the school to share their experiences and skills with the children and we take pupils on visits to the wider world. Here, at Little Lions Nursery our staff teamwork alongside parents to give our pupils every opportunity to make the most of themselves and to enable them to do a little bit better than anyone thought possible – to reach for the stars!
We have bespoke classrooms for all of our Early Years children that encourage free flow play. We believe that the parent is the first, the teacher the second and finally the third is the environment. We work hard to make sure the environment is stimulating and rich as this provides optimum learning opportunities.
All children learn best from hands-on experiences. We teach the fundamental skills of reading, writing and maths through daily play. We also encourage independence right from the start.
We believe that the Early Years Foundation Stage is fundamental in instilling positive dispositions towards learning. In Nursery, children play and explore, make choices and learn to have a go and persevere, are creative and solve problems, form good relationships and are safe, secure and happy.
