Carr Pre School will help to promote a play based learning experience for all children in the local area under statutory school age. The pre-school curriculum is planned to ensure that children learn and develop within 6 key areas (arts, language, early mathematical experience, personal & social development, physical develop & movement and the

world around us). We also seek to educate parents on young children's development in order to improve their home learning experiences as their parents are the primary educator during the formative years. Observations and assessments of each child's development takes place regularly and the relevant planning will ensure the provision of the above is sufficient to further advance learning opportunities. Through continuous evaluation and monitoring the staff team will ensure that planning is in place for educational provision for each individual child, this process includes regular staff and management committee meeting, ongoing training, support from our primary school colleagues and our Independent Early Years Co-Ordinator. Feedback from parents and inspections is also vital to our overall educational provision provided. It is our aim that through this all children in our setting will reach their full potential.
