At Moorgate Nursery School we provide a calm, safe and nurturing environment where children are encouraged to become independent and resilient learners and their wellbeing is prioritised.
We work closely with parents and carers and the community in order to provide meaningful, enjoyable and personalised learning experiences so that children are able to build upon their prior learning and widen their knowledge of the world around them.
We celebrate diversity and aim to provide a fully inclusive environment where each child feels valued and is able to flourish in order to achieve the highest possible outcomes. 'A place where every child is valued and encouraged to flourish…' We aim to provide the best start in life for children and their families in a safe, fun and stimulating environment.
We inspire and nurture our children and promote a love of learning that should carry them through to be lifelong learners! Our curriculum is based around our six images of the child which provides the foundation of our pedagogical approach:
