The Cradle Nursery ethos is to create a nurturing,
inclusive environment in partnership with parents; where every child can read their full
potential in an environment in partnership which is safe, secure, happy, healthy and
stimulating.
The Cradle Nursery has high expectations of our staff
to ensure that we deliver the highest quality childcare possible. Our staff are dedicated,
committed and have the motivation and genuine passion to deliver high quality childcare where
children are happy and safe. Staff is carefully selected not only for their professional
childcare qualifications and experiences but also for their personal qualities and commitment to
provide each child with quality care and their continuing enthusiasm to develop their skills
through further training.
Within our Nursery we aim to:
- • Create a stimulating, caring and safe environment
where each child’s individual needs are met and where they can develop creativity,
individuality and self-confidence in a secure surrounding.
- • To treat each child as an individual and
recognise and celebrate individuality and diversity which helps promote a rich learning
environment
- • Promote the development of a positive self image
within all children and families.
- • Work in partnership with parents and carers in an
open and honest way.
- • Support parents and carers in developmental needs
of their children both in the setting and at home.
We will achieve this by:
- • Creating an environment which promotes inclusion
by introducing appropriate resources and positive image of gender, diversity, ethnic
minorities and different cultures.
- • Encouraging the participation of carers in all
aspects of the running of the setting.
- • Creating a welcoming atmosphere which makes the
child, parents and carers happy and comfortable within the setting.
- • Having a thorough recruitment and induction
process. Valuing our staff and encouraging and supporting ongoing professional
development.
- • Continually monitoring, reflecting and evaluating
the effectiveness of our practice. We will identify our strengths and weakness and
constantly look for ways to raise the quality of the service we provide and to improve
outcomes for all children.
- • We develop and maintain strong links in the local
community, children’s centre and other agencies, therefore encouraging the local
community and these professionals to play an active role within the setting.
