Little Explorers Nursery

We are a Member of Pre-School Learning Alliance Working in Partnership and the Forest School Association. We value and fully welcome the involvement of parents, families and carers within the nursery by working in partnership and involving them within the setting. Also, Little Explorers Nursery works in partnership with Norfolk County Council Early Years Advisers Team and Fleggburgh CE Primary School.

EYFS states 'Every child deserves the best possible start in life and for them to fulfil their potential.'. EYFS sets out the standards that 'all early year's providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well and safe.'. EYFS seeks to provide; 'quality and consistency, a secure foundation, partnership workings and equality of opportunities.'.

We believe that children settle best when they have a key person to relate to, who knows them and their parents well, and who can meet their individual needs. Research shows that a key person approach benefits the child, the parents, team members and the setting by providing secure relationships in which children thrive, parents have confidence, our team members are committed and the setting is a happy and dedicated place to attend or work in.

Our practitioners all hold the appropriate level of qualifications. Training supports the raising of standards and awareness of children's well-being and safeguarding within our care. It is our policy to notice and act on matters of concerns and to work with the appropriate professions to obtain the best outcome for the child with the parent.

Forest School learning is an approach which offers all learners discovery through natural opportunities to achieve and develop self-confidence and self-esteem. It is a specialised learning approach which encouraging people to be inspired through hands-on learning experiences that comprises within and compliments the wider context of outdoor and woodland education.
