CHILDCARE @ GROWING PLACES
We have 4 NURSERY/PRE-SCHOOL sites: HAVANT ACADEMY (HAVANT), MILL HILL (WATERLOOVILLE), OAK MEADOW (FAREHAM), AND MORELANDS (CROOKHORN; and 6 AFTER-SCHOOL/HOLIDAY CLUBS
The ethos of Growing Places is to RAISE ASPIRATIONS for all who are part of our settings. We provide a range of opportunities to encourage children to explore, think for themselves, find solutions and know that it is ok to make mistakes.? In doing so, we build children’s resilience, self-esteem and self-belief, encouraging positive attitudes to future learning.
To do this, we:
•Value each child as an individual, with their own needs and interests
•Value our families and wider community: creating a diverse environment with tolerance and understanding towards each other
At Growing Places we truly value that each child is an individual with their own needs and interests and it is our privilege to help support these in partnership with you.
Each of our NURSERIES includes family areas (Pods) where children and their key carers share social times,
support each other and gain a strong sense of belonging and independence. The Pods display photos and mementos from home and we find that children develop trusting relationships that are key to their learning and development whilst enhancing their self-confidence. The Nursery environment is designed with furniture and equipment that is flexible and can be changed to meet needs and support individual interests. Each nursery has set areas that are always accessible to the children, water play, books, art etc. and these are added to as the children’s understanding and knowledge develops.
After-School Clubs provide a fun place to be at the end of the day. Each of our clubs ensures that children play and socialise with friends after a busy day at school and throughout the long school holidays. All clubs provide a variety of opportunities including sport, games, tree climbing, creative play, cooking, IT and outdoor fun.
Holiday Clubs provide you with peace of mind through the long school holidays, occupying even the most active of children. Additionally, regular day and overnight camping trips are organised to ensure children experience numerous outdoor challenges and hands-on activities.
