Our promise to your child, in words and in practice.
Everything we do is grounded in what we believe children need – to feel happy, confident and ready to learn. From encouraging kindness and curiosity to building strong relationships with families, our values shape everyday life across all our nurseries.
This short video offers a glimpse into what those values look like in practice – through real moments of play, care and connection.
We help children learn what it means to be kind, safe and respectful through gentle guidance, clear expectations and consistent routines. Boundaries are introduced with care, creating a calm, nurturing environment where children feel secure and ready to thrive.
We nurture social awareness from the very beginning. By encouraging children to notice how others feel, take turns, and show care, we help them build strong, respectful relationships that last a lifetime.
Kindness is modelled and celebrated every day, from simple phrases like “please” and “thank you” to helping a friend or comforting someone who’s upset. We teach manners as part of emotional intelligence, not just as a matter of politeness.
Emotional safety is at the heart of everything we do. With consistent key person relationships, predictable routines and warm spaces, children feel secure, valued and ready to learn.
We build confidence through praise, encouragement and celebrating effort, not just outcomes. Whether it’s learning to put on a coat or solving a tricky puzzle, we support children to keep trying and believe in themselves.
From healthy meals and physical play to rest and hydration, we encourage habits that support children’s wellbeing. We also talk about healthy choices in ways children can understand and enjoy.
We introduce ideas like fairness, tolerance and mutual respect through everyday experiences, helping children understand themselves and others. We also celebrate each child’s unique background, family and culture as something to be proud of.
Children learn best when they feel part of a group. We foster collaboration, shared thinking and teamwork through play, discussion and group activities that help everyone feel included.
Children are encouraged to express their thoughts, ask questions and make choices – from the stories they love to the activities they want to explore. We model active listening and teach children that their voice matters.
We take learning beyond the classroom – into nature, the community, and new surroundings. This builds curiosity, adaptability and confidence in the wider world.
We work closely with families to build trusting, open relationships. By sharing information and learning from one another, we support every child in a joined-up, consistent way – creating a true partnership between nursery and home.
