About Sinnington Pre-school
We have developed a wonderful play space both indoors and out for children aged 2 to 4 years. Our safe, warm and homely environment provides endless opportunities for play and exploration, inspiring children’s learning and development. We have clear aspirations for all our children which are naturally entwined throughout everything we do to effectively support and enable them to become confident life-long learners. Our staff work extremely hard to build positive relationships with children and their families and work collaboratively with parents in order to nurture children’s confidence, ability and curiosity to learn. Every child is recognised as a unique individual and we support and celebrate children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development will be supported and celebrated. We are attuned to identifying children’s individual needs, including SEND, and work hard to support children and families appropriately allowing them to be successful. Key Person system Each child has the support of their key person (staff member) to encourage relevant information sharing. Each child’s key person will also put photographs and other information about a child’s learning and development on Tapestry, this includes a brief report summary towards the end of each term. Tapestry is a two-way process and parents are encouraged to share children’s experiences at home through photographs, dialogues and other information important to their child and family.
