Make equal opportunity and inclusion a thread, which runs through the entirety of the nursery, including staff, children, and their families. By encouraging positive role models, promoting non-stereotypical images and language, challenging all discriminatory behaviour, and ensuring that we continually update our knowledge.
Planning in the moment is an integral part of our nursery day. This curriculum is accessible to all children including SEN children, to enable each unique child to plan their learning experience with the support of highly skilled Practitioners, to promote independent thinking, inspire curiosity and consistent opportunities to deeply engage. The children have constant opportunities throughout the day to explore and investigate in all the different areas dependent on their current interests. Children’s interests are also known at Highbury Nursery as their “sparks”.
Our practitioners tune in to each child’s sparks and extend on the children’s learning and development through this knowledge. We encourage the children to think critically and change and adapt the uses for the resources they are using independently. We develop on the children’s interests, threading learning, with skilled practitioners planning the environment and incorporating teaching elements. This is an ongoing journey that never stops, scaffolding with the child and developing their needs.
Our Behaviour Management Policy is consistent throughout the nursery. All Practitioners promote positive behaviour, building on the social journey of the children. We support the child by role modelling and talking through conflict together and possible solutions to specific situations. The children are all encouraged to talk to and listen to each other with independence and confidence adapted to their age and stage of development, forming the foundation of managing conflict and behaviour throughout life.
We invite families to book a visit to see our wonderful nursery and experience our nurturing environment in person. This will give you a sense of how Highbury Nursery can support your child's growth and become part of your family life.
