We believe in whole-child development, where we understand that emotional wellbeing, social connection, creativity, self confidence and high levels of involvement lead to life long, deep level learning.
We reject a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching and learning. Instead, we embrace responsive, reflective interactions tailored to each child's unique needs and stage of development.
We evaluate our teaching and reflect on the learning of the children on a daily, weekly and termly basis and this informs part of the content of the curriculum on offer at Ripley Nursery School and Ripley Nursery School Childcare. Additionally as practitioners we are responsive to the interests, needs and fascinations of the children we work with and this will influence and direct the curriculum on offer. We use the Leuven Scales of Well-Being and Involvement to observe and monitor how well our curriculum, pedagogy and provision is meeting children's needs and enabling them to feel and achieve the best they can.
