Ever wondered where the bubbles go when they pop?
Well, join our adventure to see!
Your child deserves the very best start in their life.
The support we offer, will enable your child to fulfil their potential so they can “know more, remember more and be able to do more”.
(Ofsted guidance registered early years providers Updated 24 January 2023)
What is “teaching” in the Early Years?
Our "teaching" is delivered through "teachable moments" discovered through your child's play.
This helps us to guide the child in to what it is they want to learn.
This spontaneity keeps us constantly enriched by what the children "see" and are fascinated by . . .
Who can say what a child wants to explore tomorrow or even in the next five minutes?! . .
It's an exciting journey to share with them!
Your unique child
Our unique way or “teaching” allows us to develop each child at their own individual pace working with their interests.
We keep the idea of the unique child and the joy of play and learning in the Early Years at the very heart of what we do.
What do they want to learn today …? What is igniting them in their play?
Our Pre-School environment
@ BMC your child will be safe, secure and so excited to learn.
Our team here have a wealth of experience that ensures your child has the best ever time with us!
How we assess . .
“Observation Play and Learning”
OPAL
We do 3 “spotlights” a year on your children.
We think observing and assessing children in the early years should not be a chore.
We try to minimise ‘paperwork’ and ‘evidence’ and give ourselves time . . . time to spend interacting and playing with your children, not testing them.
We know that not all children will have ‘typical’ development.
These spotlights allow us to tell and celebrate each child’s story and focus on the tailored support they need from us.
A spotlight sheet
Take a look here to see what to expect . .
These very simple developmental milestones, which we use to monitor children’s development reflect what we believe a ‘typical’ child, should be able to achieve.
When looking at the statements, we see if the child is meeting or working towards any milestones.
We’re ELKLAN trained . .
The training helps us to develop the key communication skills for all children to ensure later success at school
Our core values . .
To be respectful
To be independent
To be responsible
To be challenged
To be kind
Our ethos and mission . . . with you
Is to provide a happy, secure and stimulating environment which will support and challenge your unique child. We will nurture their exploration of the world around them, irrespective of their gender, ethnicity, social background or special educational needs.
We will enable your young child to thrive in a learning and caring environment. Combined with your parent partnership and active involvement along this adventure we will optimise each child's growth . . and develop them to reach their full potential!
