Our Vision

At Horden Nursery School we strive to create a happy and friendly environment where all children feel safe, secure and valued. Alongside our experienced and caring team of staff, children are encouraged to follow their own interests and fascinations, developing their thinking and independence in an environment which supports creativity, curiosity and imagination. Children are offered a wide range of exciting experiences and challenges, supporting them to make their own decisions, take risks and understand the world around them.

We strive to build upon each child’s individual home experiences through trusting and supportive relationships, ensuring diversity is celebrated and everyone is valued and included.

Our Aims

  • To have fun playing and learning together .
  • To create a safe, secure and stimulating environment which engages children’s interests, values their choices and promotes independence.
  • To nurture and develop children’s creativity and curiosity, providing the time and space to do so.
  • To support children to develop self-esteem, confidence and respect for others.
  • To develop strong, positive, supportive relationships with parents and families, ensuring every opportunity for all children to develop to their full potential.
  • To value and celebrate the richness of diversity through an understanding of the unique nature of our children, families and the community.
  • To create an exciting and carefully structured curriculum,  which nutures the Characteristics of Effective Learning and enables children to develop their own interests and plan and initiate their own learning.
