About Us
We are a village playgroup that was founded by Parents in 1995 and has been established in the community for over 20 years. Through fundraising we are exceptionally privileged to own our own building. We have close links to Rowley Lane School & other childcare providers within the Community.
Our Philosophy
|
At Rowley Lane Pre-school we deliver a high level of quality teaching & care that is individually tailored for each child, providing a solid stepping stone in the early years. We achieve this through managed & planned support for specific areas, through play & exploration, based on the requirements of the individual child.
We offer an inclusive, safe, happy & stimulating environment to help all children grow in confidence, developing self esteem & fostering independence. Each child is encouraged to develop a sense of achievement through the activities offered. We enhance educational development so children can unlock their maximum potential. Children are motivated to learn at their own pace & each child is encouraged to achieve more, to become confident, independent learners. We embrace & celebrate diversity ensuring that this is part of our learning ethos. |

The Early Years Framework
|
We work to the Early Years Foundation Framework for Childcare & Education. Every child deserves the best possible start in life & support to fulfil their potential. The framework ensures that all children develop & no child is left behind. It is built on 4 guiding themes; a unique child, positive relationships, enabling environments & learning & development. Each theme in itself provides a context for the requirements & guidance on how practitioners should support the learning, development & care of young children.
We further enhance the EYFS by the use of interactive learning journals, which enable staff to track & follow each child individually, identifying key areas for development at each stage. Our resources are regularly refreshed to meet the interests of the child & to encourage a stimulating learning environment. We operate to a high adult to child ratio, ensuring we deliver a high standard of care at all times. |
Special Educational Needs
The Local Offer
All children are individual, as is their learning journey. However some children may require additional one to one support with a dedicated key worker, more so in the case of a child with Special Educational Needs. We also offer support to families within the home and work in partnership with parents and external agencies, for the benefit of the child. During this partnership we are able to offer coping strategies in a number of areas and help work together, to further the child's progress and incorporate an element of future planning, to increase the benefits of early educational learning.
We also work along side external agencies such as speech and language therapists, social and health workers, should extra support be required. By providing additional support we aim to maximise children's growth and success, making the early years a solid stepping stone into school life.
