Dundry Pre-school Aims are:

  • To provide the children with a safe, secure, happy and stimulating environment
  • To allow the children to develop and learn through play
  • To support the children to become confident and enthusiastic learners
  • To encourage the children to care for themselves, one another and the pre-school environment
  • To encourage the children to make choices and ask questions promoting their self-esteem and confidence
  • To encourage independence
  • To help children make their own discoveries
  • To support the children whilst they socialise, taking responsibility for their own behaviour through the sensitive support of adults
  • To value each child’s culture and background
  • To involve parent/carers and value their contributions

We achieve this in some of the following ways:

  • Welcoming everyone into the group
  • Facilitating a rich play environment
  • Allowing the children time to play and think
  • Letting children’s interests lead our planning
  • Providing each child with a Key Worker
  • Regular meetings/opportunities to talk with staff
