Our nursery ethos
We believe a child led approach to teaching in the Early Years is best for the children.
Children are born with a natural desire to explore and learn, and our practitioners can support them in this.
This is done by creating an enabling environment (both physical and emotional) and through relationships and interactions that the children experience.
At Noah's Ark Nursery School, we strive to offer our children a fascinating and accessible learning environment to EXPLORE, both indoors and outdoors.
We feel that children should have, and aim to provide, the opportunity to ENGAGE in experiences that enable them to deepen their learning.
We let the children choose what they want to do, join them and support them in their pursuits and discuss/record what has happened.
We want children to be lifelong learners and to be willing to challenge themselves, take risks, be creative, be confident to try new experiences and most importantly, ENJOY their learning process.
Having recently adopted this approach, our children are happy, relaxed and are making very good progress, and likewise the staff have become relaxed, inspired and enthusiastic about their vocations.
