Every child is a unique child. We aim to build positive relationships with all children to enable them to be strong and independent. We acknowledge that within the setting children will learn and develop well when they are benefiting from enabling environments, and teaching and learning support from adults, who respond to individual interests to scaffold learning over time. We believe the safeguarding and welfare of all children is paramount and we ensure to endeavour to keep children safe from harm both in our setting and in their home.
Baby room has their own safe and secure outdoor area that leads off from the room. This area benefits from an undercover section which enables children to access the outdoors all year round. Staff understand the importance of being outside. It supports brain development in a number of ways including exposure to sunlight, expanding senses and supporting physical development.
