Our paramount priority is to keep their child in a safe, happy, loving, healthy, caring and stable environment.

We recognise the fact that the needs of the individual child are different and we will give each child the opportunity to develop to his/her full potential. This will be accomplished by providing as wide a range of planned activities as possible that reflect these needs, encompassing a multi-cultural environment such as we live in.

Objectives

To create an environment that encourages each child to develop and grow in his/her own unique way.
To create a welcoming, caring atmosphere in which families feel that they belong. One in which they can develop a trusting relationship with each other and the pre-school staffs.
To create an environment that is anti-racist, anti-sexist and does not discriminate on the grounds of disability, race, gender or creed.
To provide an environment that positively encourages the development of self esteem, enabling the child to form her or his own identity.
To provide a planned but flexible programme of activities for the children to meet with their changing needs.
To foster a staff team who are highly valued and whose varied skills, training and experience work together to produce the optimum environment for the development of the children.
