Our Early Years Mission Statement 

In the Early Years Foundation Stage at Perranporth Pre-School, our mission is to provide an enabling environment which promotes the learning and development of every child attending our setting. Our EYFS curriculum is designed to allow children to develop the knowledge and learning behaviours that they need to succeed in life. Children’s learning is led through a balance of discrete, adult-led sessions and carefully planned continuous provision where children have the opportunity to investigate and apply their learning using our stimulating indoor and outdoor environments.

It is our aim that children will leave the EYFS as confident, independent and reflective learners.

We will Nurture your children with their development through discovery.

Through building positive relationships, we aim to develop and foster the characteristic of effective learning* in every child. Children are encouraged to become well-regulated and sociable through the modelling of positive interactions and language at all times. Our learning environments, alongside interactions with our skilled practitioners, are carefully planned and resourced to allow children the opportunities to:

• Develop their communication and language skills
• Expand their confidence, independence and resilience
• Learn through active play and exploration
• Extend their skills/ abilities by testing them out in a range of situations
• Enjoy learning and have fun
• Build positive relationships with adults and peers
• Seek challenge and learn from mistakes
• Develop their gross and fine motor skills
• Gain the basic skills, knowledge and understanding required to become confident school-ready learners

We believe that all children are capable of achieving amazing things and we develop this through having high expectations of all the children in our setting. We also believe in working closely with parents to ensure that we can enable the best outcomes for our children.

Parental engagement is very important to us at Perranporth Pre-school and communication with parents and carers is facilitated through, parent open-sessions, online interactive Learning Journeys and daily conversations with staff. We run practical sessions throughout the year to help parents and carers in supporting children at home.
