Helps All Children Thrive Together

All children have the right to be cared for and educated to develop to their full potential alongside each other through positive experiences, to enable them to share opportunities and experiences and develop and learn from each other. We provide a positive and welcoming environment where children are supported according to their individual needs and we work hard to ensure no children are discriminated against or put at a disadvantage as a consequence of their needs.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO

Working alongside Parents

We are committed to working alongside parents in the provision for their child’s individual needs to enable us to help the child to develop to their full potential. We are committed to working with any child who has a specific need and/or disability and making reasonable adjustments to enable every child to make full use of the nursery’s facilities. All children have a right to a broad and well-balanced early learning environment.

Where we believe a child may have additional needs that have previously been unacknowledged, we will work closely with the child’s parents and any relevant professionals to establish if any additional action is required.

FURTHER SUPPORT FOR

Children with Additional Needs

Where a child has additional needs, we feel it is paramount to find out as much as possible about those needs; any way that this may affect his/her early learning or care needs and any additional help he/she may need by:

  • Liaising with the child’s parents and, where appropriate, the child
  • Liaising with any professional agencies
  • Reading any reports that have been prepared
  • Attending any review meetings with the local authority/professionals
  • Observing each child’s development and monitoring such observations regularly

ALL CHILDREN WILL BE

Given a Full Settling-in Period when joining The Village Nursery

All children will be given a full settling-in period when joining the nursery, tailored to their individual needs. This period is designed to help each child adjust comfortably to their new environment, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and ready to engage in early learning activities. During this time, our staff will closely observe and support each child, addressing any concerns and making any necessary adjustments to meet their specific requirements. Our goal is to create a welcoming and nurturing atmosphere that fosters a smooth transition and positive start for every child.
