About this employer
Our ethos at Ellie’s little kingdom is to build a home away from home environment, to make our setting and the children’s experiences with us as nurturing as possible. An integral part of our early year’s curriculum is creating a homely environment for children in the formative years of their lives. It focuses on the development of positive relationships between children and teachers, as well as providing them with the necessary home features to support their learning and development.
By providing a safe, secure and nurturing environment, we can ensure that children have the best possible start in life. Through this curriculum, we can also help to promote positive mental health and wellbeing by encouraging children to build meaningful relationships with those around them.
The nursery has been specifically designed with home features i.e., wallpaper and low-level accessible resources to give children the freedom to explore and engage with the environment and their chosen activity. We have a consistent staff regime and ensure we use the same practitioners to build positive and nurturing relationship. This provides our children a strong continuity of care. By building positive relationships with the children and their parents we can ensure we build secure foundations to meet all children’s needs and developmental milestones.
Our nursery provides a mixture of adult and child led play. The early years of a child’s life are incredibly important for their development. It is during these years that children learn about the world around them, develop their skills and gain knowledge that will help them in future life. That is why it is essential to provide an early years curriculum that promotes learning through a mixture of adult and child-led play.
We place an emphasis on each child’s Communication and Language and Expressive Arts and Design skills, this is the forefront of our curriculum intent. We promote this by providing the children with various opportunities to be creative, use their imaginations and various media and materials to enhance their knowledge and skills.
