Inspection report for early years provision - 6th July 2023
Our organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
It is the aim of Queens Road Pre-school to provide a warm caring environment for the children in our care.
We value parents as the first and most important educators of their children, we welcome them as active partners in our pre-school.
We believe that all children are unique individuals and aim to help them to develop at their own rate through challenging and exciting play.
We believe that children learn most effectively when they are interested and motivated by the activities they engage with.
We believe in the importance of a key person to help plan activities tailored to the needs of each individual child.
We will provide opportunities for all children to grow in self-confidence, experience success and develop a positive self-image.
We aim for every child to have the opportunity to enjoy stories and verse every day.
We will encourage independence in all areas of development.
