Our Approach
At Grow Learn Play, we aim to:
– Provide a safe, secure and nurturing environment for your child.
– Provide for each child’s unique needs depending on their age and abilities.
– Help your child to build relationships and develop self-esteem and social skills.
– Provide exciting learning opportunities that stimulate and interest each child and support their emotional, physical, social and academic needs.
– Offer high quality childcare in partnership with parents.
And this is how:
1. Treat people with respect.
2. Provide a safe, but stimulating, environment.
3. Encourage autonomy.
4. Support children to make positive choices, identify feelings and find appropriate ways of expressing themselves.
5. Encourage all to achieve their potential.
6. Challenge any inappropriate behaviour.
7. Act on any concerns regarding safeguarding.
8. Comply with legislation.
9. Comply with all safer recruitment processes.
