We encourage our Practitioners to work collaboratively and in an inclusive style: supporting and mentoring less experienced team members.

- Planning, preparation and facilitating of stimulating activities that support children's learning and development, and individual needs.

- Role modelling high expectations, with a committed and enthusiastic approach, to our children as well as more junior members of staff.

- Fostering a love of the outdoors and nature, exploring the wonderful world around us.

- Facilitating and supporting with mealtimes - promoting our 'family meal' approach.

- Working with parents / carers of children with additional needs in order to facilitate their inclusion into the setting.

- Working with external agencies to achieve the best outcomes for all children.

- Being accountable for your own development, and seeking out opportunities to learn new skills.
