Courage: Independence

Children are born with a natural desire to explore and learn.  We allow them the time and space to give things a go, to take safe risks and to strive and improve at whatever stage of development.  We monitor them using EYFS Tracking and keep parents informed of next steps.

At lunchtime the children eat a cooked meal in an age appropriate setting.  Staff encourage good eating habits, manners and independence at mealtimes, including the correct use of cutlery.  The School caters for dietary and medical requirements and the week's menu is posted on the School notice boards or viewed here.

We encourage independence in self care including toileting, dressing and eating.  Your child will quickly learn to have a go at buttons, zips and poppers as well as mastering the use of cutlery.
