At The Duckling Nursery, we are passionate about Safeguarding children and keeping them safe at all times. We believe that children learn best when they are healthy, safe, secure, when their individual needs are met and when they have positive relationships with the adults caring for them. We actively promote British values and encourage and praise positive, caring and polite behaviour and provide an environment where children learn to respect themselves, other people and their surroundings.
At the Duckling Nursery we promote kindness through everything we do by:
- Being kind to ourselves
- Being kind to others
- Being kind to nature
We provide a homely, welcoming environment to all and promote positive respectful relationships and wellbeing among staff, which is mirrored in relationships among children and their families. By exploring, experimenting and learning through their own play and through the motivation from staff acting as role models, each unique child is encouraged to reach their full potential in their own time.
The nursery follows the guidelines and statutory requirements for The Early Years Foundation Stage, incorporating all areas of learning in the planning and teaching of an exciting and varied curriculum. This provides a foundation for all children to achieve the Early Learning Goals by the end of their Reception year.
