Vision

• To respect EVERY child’s unique individuality by providing opportunities to develop their ‘Learning Through Play’.

• Children feel safe and secure in the knowledge they are able to explore their own environment, whilst supported by caring adults who nurture their growing minds.

• To maintain good working relationships within St Michaels Primary School and Emerson’s Green Village Hall, as well as promoting a good parent/ pre-school partnership benefiting both children and their carers.

Values

• We promote ‘healthy living’ by providing ‘free-flow play’ between a stimulating outdoor and indoor environment enabling children to develop their independent learning and curiosity, allowing them to investigate their surroundings in safety.

• We provide a warm and welcoming environment for all, respecting our partnership with carers.

• We regularly review our practises to ensure a quality service.
