Chirton Pips Preschool
'A Forest School'
About Us
Exploring our environment
We believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life to help them reach their full potential. A child's experience in the early years has a major impact on their future life chances. We aim to provide a secure, safe, happy, stimulating environment to help the make the most of their abilities.
To help us do this we work from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS 2021), where the aim is to help young children achieve the Early Learning Goals at the end of their Reception Year.

Our Aim is:
​
-
To inspire children to become life long learners
-
To give the children the opportunity to experience the awe and wonder of the world around them
-
To develop children's self confidence, resilience, independence and self belief
-
To ignite an interest in learning and discovery, creativity, books and stories
-
To help children build strong relationships with staff and their peers
-
To become physically strong and understand what a healthy lifestyle is
-
To encourage children to have open minds - to understand that everyone is entitled to have their own views, faith and beliefs.

PREPARE CHILDREN FOR TOMORROW

We have three levels of Risk Assessment in place - annual, weekly and daily.

We record every child's progress through regular observation.
