Early Years Vision at Michaelchurch

For Michaelchurch Escley early years, these priorities for an outstanding early years environment and learning culture are:

• Purposeful Play and Exploration: Children experience an ambitious, engaging curriculum that builds vocabulary, curiosity, independence and problem-solving skills through high-quality play and exploration.
• A Language-Rich Environment
  Adults model and extend children's language through meaningful conversations, stories, songs and play.
• Positive Behaviour & Self-Regulation: Children are deeply engaged, show great self-control, and care for their peers, environment, and personal needs.
• Nurturing Development: Children form strong, secure bonds with staff and each other while enjoying rich life experiences, outdoor activity, and developing healthy habits.

Our setting aims to…

• stimulate and encourage children's natural curiosity 
• provide a safe, interesting and happy environment where children can learn through a wide variety of activities.
• develop children’s confidence and independence- encouraging children to join in discussions and planning.
• encourage children to develop friendships – showing kindness, tolerance and respectfulness to others.
• work with parents so that children can fulfil their potential in all aspects of their development.
