Afternoon Session. 12.45pm – 3.15pm We remain open during school holidays. Parents must decide and sign a disclaimer to confirm whether they would like to continue with their child’s place over the holidays. If you choose not to, then you are not required to pay for your child’s session over the holidays, and their place will recommence in line with the school term dates. Alternatively, we can also stretch this funding over 48 weeks of the year.
Afternoon Session. A caring, highly qualified and enthusiastic staff provide a fun, friendly, safe and stimulating environment for children to develop within. As a voluntary managed setting, we also depend on the good will of parents and their involvement to keep going. Membership of the setting carries expectations on you for your support and commitment. An elected committee of parents and community representatives ensure that major decisions are in the hands of the people who use the group. Children are welcomed from their second birthday up to statutory school age, with Government funded free sessions for up to 30 hours per week and 15 hours for all 3 and 4 year olds (starting the term after their third birthday). Some families are also entitled to Government funded two year old places. Please ask. Mission Statement Great oaks from little acorns grow We aim to provide a setting where children develop confidence, are happy, stimulated and are prepared to face the challenges ahead. Our Core Values At Little Acorns we believe that the three most important things that children need to learn and develop are: • Nurturing relationships with caring adults • An enabling environment which provides stimulation to learn and develop • The emotional security to develop independence. We aim to ensure that each child: • is in a safe and stimulating environment; • is given generous care and attention, because of our ratio of qualified staff to children, as well as volunteer helpers; • has the chance to join in with other children and adults to live, play, work and learn together; • is helped to take forward her/his learning and development by being helped to build on what she/he already knows and can do; • has a personal key person who makes sure each child makes satisfying progress; • is in a setting that sees parents as partners in helping each child to learn and develop; and • is in a setting in which parents help to shape the service it offers.
