At South Normanton Nursery school, we are committed to high quality Early Years provision and practice. We have a simple long term goal which is for the children who have attended our setting to contribute to the community and further out into the world, throughout their lives in a positive and inspiring way. In order to achieve this goal we have clear aims and values.

Our aims and values:

• Through developing creative and enquiring minds, inspire and nurture children
• Helping children to develop a good self-image, self-motivation, independence and acceptance in line with values of Modern Britain
• Encourage children to develop calm and respectful relationships
• To embrace diversity and treat everyone equally ensuring individual needs are met
• Providing a safe, secure and stimulating environment where children can thrive
• To ensure that everyone has a voice which is heard and valued
• All children to reach their potential and aspire to be even better, through a love of life long learning
• Develop a healthy body and a healthy mind
• To work with and support our families with the common goal of the education and welfare of the child
• Develop an understanding of our responsibilities in working towards a better world
• To harness the joy of the natural environment

Our aims and values are underpinned by the articles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child. These rights, like all human rights, are unconditional and our Governors and staff are fully committed to South Normanton Nursery School’s rights-based provision where rights are respected and fulfilled.
