Our Principles and Commitment Values
In this video, we explain our five core values that underpin our approach to early years education.
Critical and Creative Thinkers

To be naturally inquisitive about themselves, others and their environment. To be confident to test out their ideas to nurture their critical and creative thinking skills Thinking creatively and critically are crucial skills for needed in life and forms the foundation for effective problem solving and decision-making. We are committed to creating a safe space for children to think of their own ideas, imagine possibilities and creativity combine ideas in spontaneous ways where they can test their predictions and refine their understanding.
Sense of Belonging

To belong – To feel as though I belong in order to have a sense of self-worth, feel safe and form suitable relationships. Feeling like we belong is an innate human desire, crucial for forming secure and trusting relationships. We ensure each child feels they belong through caring adult connections, helping them build trust, form future relationships, and feel safe. This sense of belonging enables children to navigate their emotions, feel valued, and find their place in society. By creating a ‘triangle of trust’ between key people, children, and their families, we provide a strong foundation for building fulfilling relationships,
helping children develop the skills to navigate their social worlds comfortably.
Explorers of Our World

To have an innate interest in our natural world and feel connected to the planet and everything it has to offer. We want children to explore the world with interest, awe, and wonder, especially the wild outdoors. Our commitment is to immerse children in nature, helping them feel connected to the world around them. By providing access to natural resources and first-hand experiences, children can independently explore and investigate based on their preferences. We aim for them to experience the unique possibilities of the outdoors, including nature’s sounds, sunlight, and weather. This exploration encourages energetic, risky, and adventurous play, offering a wide range of benefits.
Confident Communicator

Being able to communicate thoughts, feelings, likes, dislikes, needs, passion and interests, in a way which is suitable for me. We strive to ensure all our children become Confident Communicators and celebrate this looking different for individual each child. We want them to express their thoughts, feelings, needs, and passions through both verbal and non-verbal methods. We will do this by role-modelling and creating language-rich environments all the while tuning into and supporting each child.
Be Happy and Healthy

To be content and happy with a natural disposition to get involved and explore. To relish in plenty of physical activity to reap benefits on their physical and mental health. Finally, we want our children to be happy and healthy. Through the principles above we will strive for all our children to be happy and content whilst they are with us, we want our nurseries to be a fun and exciting place for all our children. We know that children’s physical and mental health can significantly influence their current and future happiness. We ensure all children are provided with healthy meals and snacks. We are also committed to making sure children get enough physical exercise.
