A Froebelian approach is inherently respectful of young children. It views children as powerful learners, motivated from birth to explore, investigate and be curious about the world and to try, through their own efforts, to understand it. Education should build on this powerful urge to learn.

Free movement, free choice and self-directed activity are important, but they should be within a framework of guidance in which the role of the adult is crucial to play outdoors
The direct, everyday experience of the natural world outdoors is essential so that children can learn to appreciate its wonders and begin to understand the interrelationship between all living things. The nursery garden is a rich environment offering potential for all areas of learning.

Learning should be meaningful and connected to children’s own experiences.

It should not be divided up into subjects but should be experienced as a meaningful whole so that children can connect new ideas to what they already know. A view of the whole child is paramount, for everything is linked.

Our nursery school aims to be democratic, with a respectful community of learners, where adults and children can learn from each other and be closely connected to the wider community of people and places.

Relationships should be close, trusting, responsive, interactive, and intellectually engaging.

They should build on the positive characteristics of each individual child, extending what they can already do, rather than what they are not yet able to do.

The care and education of young children is essential to society. Young children are entitled to knowledgeable and well qualified professionals who are deeply informed about and attuned to the distinctive nature of young children’s learning and development. Practitioners must constantly strive to develop their understanding through training observation, research reflection and discussion.

Creativity is the essence of being human and its fundamental to learning.
Creativity enables children to make connections between their inner world of feelings and ideas and their outer world of things and experiences, and to reflect on them both.
