Our Setting Vision
To provide a happy and safe place for children to come and play, where they will be able to build trusting relationships with the staff and their peers as they learn and develop. They will be heard, feel valued and know they are special and know they will not be judged when they make mistakes. Every child does matter in our setting and every child will be supported as they strive to reach their full potential.
Education and Record Keeping
Children are admitted to Stepping Stones Pre-School at two years old and are supported in developing their potential at their own pace, through child and adult initiated activities. Each Child is assigned a "Key-person" who is responsible for the record keeping and liaison with the parent/carer. The seven areas of learning and development are covered, enabling children to progress towards the Early Learning Goals at the end of the Reception Year.
Since September 2008 we have followed the principles of the "Early Years Foundation Stage" framework. A record of each child's achievements are maintained as they progress through Pre-School. We focus on each child individually, assessing progress and planning their next steps.
Facilities
Stepping Stones Pre-School operates from a within the grounds of Daven School, next door to the Children's centre. Our facilities comprise of a large main play room for the children, which has a "quiet" corner and a smaller room for the children with additional needs from this the children have easy access to the toilets and extensive outdoor play area, which has a large Sand Pit and soft play area, with an all weather canopy which allows all year round play, come rain or shine.
