We actively encourage a growing sense of self, independence, curiosity and friendships as children are fully immersed and challenged in their learning every day. We cherish partnerships with families, our community and a wide range of learning partners. We seek to develop our knowledge and evolve our practice continually in order to provide a broad, balanced and irresistible curriculum which we continue to be passionate about and proud of in an ever-changing world.

Its sets out ratios and welfare requirements. Within the principle learning and development there are areas of learning which form the basis of curriculum planning and indicate the progress which children can be expected to make. These areas of learning finish at the end of reception class in school, when children are assessed against 'Early Learning Goals'.
