Young children learn through their senses, taking in information about the world through practical experience as they explore and experiment.

We try to harness the children’s natural curiosity to encourage and extend their learning. Their desire to investigate all aspects of their world provides the motivation for play. In pre-school they can explore in safety and with adult approval. The adults will ensure that the play and learning opportunities available in the group cover all areas of development and that for each child there is always a new challenge to move on to.

In this way children are learning a model of success; they build up a picture of themselves as people who can do things. We believe that this positive approach gives them the best foundation, not just for school but for life.
