Each child and adult is treated as an individual
Our group has an equality and diversity policy.

Our group operates in safe, healthy and secure premises
Our group is situated in a classroom in Towcester C of E Primary School. All safety precautions are taken; e.g. safety glass, electrical socket covers, and child size furniture. Children do not leave the room without an adult.

We encourage positive behaviour, social interaction and respect for others
We have a behaviour management policy and children are taught appropriate behaviour. They are encouraged to respect each other and share things.

Parental/carer involvement is encouraged
Parents/carers are encouraged to help at pre-school and come onto our committee; they receive regular newsletters informing them of forthcoming events and news.

We promote the Early Learning Goals within the group
The foundation stage curriculum is organised into six areas of learning, referred to as the ‘Early Learning Goals’. These provide the basis for planning our activities.

We bring children together to learn through play
Children are encouraged to experience a wide range of activities and the prime motivation for learning is from the pleasure they gain from the play situations they experience.

Provide new experiences
We provide a variety of activities and experiences, avoid repetition, make effective use of equipment and provide a balance between adult led and free flow play

We believe in keeping our group of a manageable size and have a high adult to child ratio
We take a maximum of twenty six children in one session and our ratio is 5:1.
