We believe that children of nursery age should learn through play and having fun. If this is provided to them in a structured manner the learning goals will be achieved. Here we draw a distinction between teaching and learning.

The vast majority of a child’s day is occupied by play. However, we believe strongly in planning and our experience is that properly planned play produces great results and our generous staff/ child ratios aid individual development. Our programme is evaluated daily so as to ensure that it serves the needs of each individual child.

Regular Observation
We believe in regular observation and individual monitoring of a child's development and very strong links with parents so that we may check that we are meeting the child's needs. Parents are welcome to telephone to enquire about or to visit their children during the day and there are regular parents evenings, verbal and written reports.

Building Partnerships

We also believe in building a strong partnership not only with parents, guardians or carers; but also with other nurseries, schools and outside agencies that may be involved in the care and learning of each individual child. This is so that we are able to build a complete picture in order to maximise the experience at Prepcare.
