Our Ethos
Our Aspirations & Principles
At Honeypot Under Fives Centre we: • Continually strive to create a warm and nurturing environment in which children feel physically and emotionally safe. • Create a homely atmosphere in which all staff know all children, and every child’s individual needs are identified, valued, and met in order to support each child in reaching their full potential. • Instil in children a love of learning.
• Encourage a freedom of expression within a well-prepared and stimulating environment which promote development in all areas of learning. • Develop a close and supportive relationship with parents to ensure that we work together to meet the needs of all children. • Support children in developing confidence in their own abilities. • Ensure our Nursery community works within a framework that promotes equal opportunity regardless of religion, size, ability, gender, culture, age, sex, and disability. • Incorporate the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework throughout the whole Nursery.
• Track all children’s progress through Tapestry and communicate development progress on a regular basis. • Welcome parent/carer contributions to our practice. • Rigorously check the suitability of all staff to work with children. • Develop the staff team with opportunities to progress and acquire new skills. • Provide news and events through regular newsletters, notice boards, website updates and our Facebook page. • Maintain robust policies and procedures. • Work in partnership with outside agencies and organisations to support our children. • Maintain high levels of Health and Safety.
