About Us
Welcome to Cleo’s Caring Corner Day Nursery. Our warm, friendly, enthusiastic and caring staff place christian values and the love of God at the centre of all that we do. Families of all-faith and no faith are welcome to our nursery. It is such a privilege and an honour to be able to care for and nurture the children in our setting. We place a huge emphasis on working holistically with the children in our care and are very keen on building strong relationships with all the families who use our nursery.
Education:
We hold the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory Framework at the heart of all that we do.
This is the document that sets out the standards that schools and childcare providers must meet for the learning, development and care of children from birth to 5.
The EYFS framework:
- Sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well
- Ensures children are kept healthy and safe
- Ensures that children have the knowledge and skills they need to start school
The seven areas of learning as outlined in the EYFS are:
- Communication and Language
- Physical development
- Personal Social & Emotional
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive Arts & Design
We use free flow play in our nursery, encouraging child led play and exploration to help develop the children’s confidence, by helping them to choose the activities that they want to engage in. We also closely observe the children’s interests and plan and offer adult led activities based on these during the course of the day, covering the 7 areas of learning.
Our Vision and Values:
- We will give children the tools that they need to have a successful future.
- We will work in partnership with parents and carers.
- We recognise the importance of placing the children in our care at the centre of their learning experience, through following their lead and developing their interests.
- We place emphasis on the children learning through their play.
- We will equip children to be positive contributors to their society.
- We will love all of the children in our care with the love of God.
- We will place Jesus at the centre of all that we do.
- We will provide a safe, happy, caring environment for all of the children in our care.
- We endeavour to be positive role models to all the children in our setting through the way we conduct ourselves and our relationships with each other.
- We will support and encourage all children in our setting to show love, kindness and respect to each other resulting in healthy and harmonious relationships.
