Our Mission
Our Mission Statement (Including British Values)

We believe in the importance of developing the whole child through offering a broad, balanced and creative curriculum where both independence and team-work are valued.

° To encourage all children to reach their fullest potential and enjoy learning
° To develop independence
° To respect themselves and others
° To foster positive relationships with parents and the community
° To encourage healthy, happy lifestyles within a safe environment.
Partnering with Parents
We believe in working closely with parents to provide consistent, high-quality care. We encourage parents to actively participate in their child’s learning journey, ensuring a positive and collaborative relationship.
The nursery recognizes that parents are the child’s first carers and educators and therefore their views and knowledge of their children are paramount in ensuring that we are able to provide the best possible care.
Community and Cultural Diversity
King Fishers Day Nurseries is more than just a childcare provider—we are a community. We celebrate cultural diversity, teaching children about different traditions through activities and events that foster respect and understanding.
We will ensure that our nursery is fully inclusive in meeting the needs of all children, including those that arise from their ethnic heritage, social and economic background, gender, ability, or disability. Our setting is committed to anti-discriminatory practice to promote equality of opportunity and valuing diversity for all children and families. We aim to:
- provide a secure and accessible environment in which all our children can flourish and in which all contributions are considered and valued.
- include and value the contribution of all families to our understanding of equality and diversity.
- provide positive non-stereotyping information about gender roles, diverse ethnic and cultural groups, and disabled people.
- improve our knowledge and understanding of issues of anti-discriminatory practice, promoting equality and valuing diversity; and
- make inclusion a thread that runs through all the activities of the setting.
Our Team
Our staff are highly qualified, experienced, and passionate about early childhood education. They are committed to creating a safe and stimulating environment, supporting each child's growth and happiness.
As a team we constantly self-evaluate the care and learning provided for the children, for the ongoing improvement of our nursery experience.
