Our beliefs and goals

At Little Goslings our goals are to:

• Foster a love of learning in each child
• Develop their strengths and to learn and explore different things
• To encourage each child’s natural curiosity about the world
• To promote empathy and respect for others
• To provide a wide variety of experiences for each child in order to foster good social relationships, individual creativity and cognitive growth
• To provide a variety of activities aimed at developing each child’s fine motor and gross motor skills

At Little Goslings it is our responsibility to provide high quality child care within the guidelines of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), we focus on the following three prime areas of learning:

• Personal Social and Emotional Development
• Physical Development
• Communication and Language Development

This is achieved by carefully planning a curriculum that enriches the child’s learning and works on development according to ability. At Little Goslings we use Tapestry, which is an online programme to keep parents up to date with their child’s learning and development. These will be called their Learning Journeys which parents will be able to access on Tapestry, at any time of the day. Photographs of children and observations will be regularly added to it (consent for Parents/Carers would be obtained before any photographs were taken).
