Mission Statement
Grove House Nursery School is a unique provision for children from birth to five years old and their families. The Governors and staff are passionate in ensuring that children are provided with unlimited opportunities to be successful and responsible members of the community, and we are committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of every child, family, and staff member. We have a child-centred, inspiring, nurturing and inclusive approach to meeting the needs of all children. Therefore, we develop collaborative and creative working partnerships with parents, families and other agencies, to identify and address barriers to the development of our children.
Aims
The nursery school is committed to providing a happy and welcoming environment where everyone is valued and cultural diversity is celebrated. In order to achieve this we aim to:
- Encourage all children to develop positive self-esteem and become well motivated, independent, resilient learners.
- Provide a broad and balanced holistic curriculum, which meets the needs of the individual. Our practice is based on current research and training relevant to children under five.
- Provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment, which nurtures a life-long love of learning for children and adults.
- Offer a range of support to families and signpost them to relevant services where needed.
- Involve children/parents/carers/extended family and external agencies as partners in the learning journey.
- Provide an inclusive environment where we actively encourage parental/carer involvement in all aspects of the provision, irrespective of race, religion, culture, background, ability, age, sexual orientation, gender or gender identity.
- Develop a team where all staff are valued, supported, committed and motivated, with a strong focus on wellbeing and opportunities for both personal and professional growth.
- All staff have high expectations of every child and family.
- Provide a variety of relevant resources, which meet the varying needs of the individual, which reflect the diversity of our community
- Ensure that all children are listened to in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and UK legislation (1989 Children Act) and children are free to make choices and to express themselves
