Parents Information- Pre-School

We strive to create a safe, nurturing environment, where all children feel valued and their autonomy is celebrated. Using a key person approach, children are assigned a member of staff to support them as they settle in, building a trusting relationship. We believe that when young children's well-being is strong, they are well prepared to access the curriculum on offer fully, allowing them to thrive and learn happily.

At Sunflowers Pre-School we follow the Early Years Framework as part of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage. This informs our teaching and policies.

We believe in child-led play and that the children will be learning and developing at the highest level when they are highly engaged in activities they are interested in. The environment is set up to allow the children to explore and investigate at their level and in their own time with highly skilled staff supporting and extending their experiences. Our planning is created with each cohort's interests in mind, whilst ensuring all children have access to new experiences, creating a stimulating, exciting environment for them to learn in.  

We use an online learning journal which you will receive observations of your child through. We also encourage you to send some back to us in the same way so that we can create a complete picture of your child and their journey. Below is a link to Tapestry log in....

You are always welcome to contact us with any queries or questions or arrange to come in and discuss in private about your child's learning and development.
