What makes a difference?

Our aim is to offer rich, hands on experiences to enhance leaning, inspire curiosity and plentiful opportunities for communication.  This will be a balance between the use of provocations to leaning, children’s interests and connected at times to the Nursery planning. 

Combined with this our Artist Sarah works 1-1 using her Drawing and Talking training for those children identified who may benefit from some emotional support 1-1 or in small groups (peer relaxation).

We know what makes a difference is also parent/carer involvement, this is why we offer a range of opportunities include parent/carer sessions throughout the year.
