Aims of The Nursery
The aim of KinderWorld is to assist every
child in their care to realise their potential and achieve maximum
progression, with learning as part of an enjoyable play environment.
We facilitate the development of social and communication skills
and encourage each child to become self motivated and confident.
To assist in achieving this aim, an individual
record of each child's development is maintained, showing their
abilities, progression and areas needing further staff assistance.
KinderWorld's approach
to Child Education
KinderWorld adopts Dr.
Maria Montessori's philosophy that a child's early years are their
'preparation for life' and, as such our nursery education encompasses
all aspects of your child's development. Based on scientific observations
to discover a child's real needs, it is the foundation on which
we build at KinderWorld.
The Montessori method guides
a child's development so that each child is able to realise their
potential. It is a method which takes into account:-
the innate ability of the young child to readily absorb knowledge
and learn from the environment;
the need for each child to spend their time in purposeful activity;
that each child deserves full respect as an individual;
that
the child's first six years are the most important and that their
earliest learning experiences
colour their whole approach
to learning through to adulthood;
that
learning should be a rewarding and pleasant experience;
At KinderWorld we are constantly striving to improve
the high standard of education that we offer. KinderWorld staff
are committed to meeting the standards set by OFSTED. In order to
maintain these high standards we participate in a national quality
assurance scheme.
The Children Act
The Children Act came into effect in October 1991.
It advocates a child centred approach to the care of our children.
It emphasises the responsibilities we have as a society to ensure
their education, their protection and their safety. KinderWorld
adheres to this ideology and we have been very conscious of it when
equipping our nursery.
By providing the recommended child-teacher ratio, we ensure that
each KinderWorld child can enjoy the most appropriate attention.
Similarly, our nursery has purpose built washrooms, special indoor
areas designed for education, messy play and quiet times, plus secure
outdoor facilities.
