our values
what's important to us
By working in partnership with parents, we aim to provide a stimulating, challenging environment which is a warm, friendly extension of home, where children and adults can explore, have fun, play, talk and learn together, developing as happy, confident and independent individuals within our community.
The values were created by the staff team many years ago, when we devoted a whole day to asking ourselves the question, 'what really matters?' They and are reviewed every year, where we might make little changes to the wording, according to our growth and development. They are not in any order, as all 9 values are of equal importance to us.
reciprocal relationships between children and adults
as co-learners
a positive image of the child as strong leaders of their own learning
the holistic learning climate; physical and emotional environments combined
happiness, well-being, kindness and teamwork
genuine, respectful partnerships with parents, carers and families
professional love and respect for children, their childhood and their right to play

the relationship and mutual respect with the whole community
respect for the natural world and uninterrupted time to wallow in slowliness
