Early Years
Pupil Premium
The Preschool can claim EYPP funding for eligible families. The extra funding is paid directly to the Preschool to help raise the quality of the child's individual early education in the setting.
The Preschool will plan the most effective way of using the money to promote the child’s learning experience.
Equal Opportunities
Every person within the Preschool has a fundamental right to equality of opportunity and we aim to provide this irrespective of religious persuasion, ethnic origin, cultural or linguistic background, gender, social group or disability.
We believe that through our learning and development we promote positive attitudes towards diversity amongst all children and staff. We recognise the importance of the people in the Preschool community as our most valuable resource and we are committed to developing the potential of both children and adults.
