Group 0

Our philosophy is to recognise the uniqueness and individuality of each child, support your child’s interests and build up his/her self-esteem and confidence. We consider that play is an essential aspect of all children’s learning and development.

Our aims in group 0 are to:

• Provide the best possible environment for your child’s learning and development based on the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC).(These continue through into group 1)
• Provide each child with a safe and warm environment for their learning and development.
• Support the children as they settle into the routines of school life calmly and confidently.
• Capture each individual child’s curiosity through a range of experiences and activities in an enabling environment.
• Support your child as they learn and develop at their own unique pace.
• Promote independent learning, providing opportunities for your child to explore and express their ideas in multiple ways.
• Provide an environment where basic skills, knowledge and personal interests can flourish.

Our criteria for admission in to group 0 is that your child is 3 years old. Your child should be dry during the day and be able to use the toilet independently. They should also be able to feed themselves.
