"A magical space for children to thrive and learn surrounded by the beauty of nature."

 

 

MISSION STATEMENT

At Holland Park Pre-School we aim to provide excellent care and education for children aged 2 to 5. We are a non-religious school open to families of all religions and none. We believe in planting the seeds of a strong system of values that will put our children in good stead as they continue on their learning journeys.

The individual wellbeing of each child is of the upmost importance to us.
Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage and strongly believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential.

We value parents and carers as equal active partners in their children’s learning. We provide a safe and rich environment that encourages each child to develop communication skills, creativity, independent learning and working as part of a team, and also nurture a sense of individuality, self-reliance and determination. We encourage our children to think for themselves and to question.

Honesty

We encourage everyone in our school community to act with integrity at all times and to uphold the rule of law.

​

Perseverance

We encourage everyone in our school community to embrace challenges, to persist in the face of setbacks and to see effort as a path to achievement.

Independence

 

We encourage our children to become independent learners. We encourage them to make active contributions to their learning. We also encourage them to listen with respect to the contributions of their teachers and peers.

​

Kindness

We encourage our school community and children to be kind and to value those around them.

Courtesy

We encourage our children to be courteous and polite. We reinforce the use of “please” and “thank you” and remind them of the impact their behaviour has on those around them.
