Aims

The Nursery provides a happy, caring and secure environment for the children in our care to grow and develop whilst learning at the same time. We believe that children learn primarily through play, developing their social skills at the same time as their physical skills. We provide a wide variety of activities designed to encourage the children as they learn.

Early Years

A child's early years are some of the most important ones in their development, we believe that it is vitally important that the children are happy and recognised as individuals which in turn will lead to them becoming willing learners.  At Presmere we firmly believe that children learn through play and from the example of enthusiastic adults helping and guiding them on their learning journey.
    From last September (2008) we have, in line with new government policy, introduced the New Early Years Foundation Stage which involves a system of record keeping from birth to 5 years. All the children in our care now have an individual learning journey- this is a unique document detailing, through the use of photography and observations, the child's' progress whilst they are with us. This is regularly shared with parents and we encourage and welcome their comments and contributions.

The Foundation Stage has 6 areas of learning, these are:-
        *Personal, social and emotional development.
        *Communication, language and literacy.
        *Problem solving, reasoning and numeracy.
        *Knowledge and understanding of the world.
        *Physical development.
        *Creative development.
