Structure
The Nursery is based on a family structure with a key person responsible for the care of children in mixed age groups. This allows children to play and learn from each other, with the older children helping younger ones to develop and progress just like they would at home.
Each child has access to their key person at all times and the family comes together at special moments in the day for small group activities and meal times.
The key person supports the children’s learning and documents individual development through photographs and observations. This ensures that learning opportunities are planned to meet the unique needs and interests of each child.
The nursery offers a free flow system which gives children the freedom to move around the different areas of the nursery at their own free will, allowing them to develop their own interests which can then be built on and encouraged by their key person.
