Statement of Aims and Mission Statement

  At St. Anne’s, we intend to:

• Promote individuality and a love of learning
• Encourage independence and the growth of self-discipline
• Foster a healthy curiosity in all areas – we want children to ask why?, when?, what for?, what if?, etc!
• Fully involve parents and carers in their children’s learning

In order to succeed as learners, we believe that young children:

• Need to feel emotionally secure within their environment and have a positive self-image
• Should be aware of the expected codes of behaviour at nursery and supported in their growing awareness of their own needs and feelings and the needs and feelings of others
• Should have access to practical, meaningful learning experiences which are presented in a play-based context
• Should be encouraged to try things for themselves and not be afraid to make mistakes
• Learn most effectively when practitioners and parents/carers work together
