Values
We value each child and aim to provide equal opportunity for the development and growth in self-confidence of each child regardless of their race, religion or beliefs.
Sessions
Our sessions run from 9.15 am to 2.45 pm on Monday to Thursday, 9.15 am to 1.15pm pm on Friday during term time. We maintain a ratio of at least one member of our caring and experienced staff to every eight children, with more staff if there are children under 3 present.
Child-centred
We have a ‘child-centred’ approach to learning, planned around a child’s individual needs and interests and informed by regular observational assessment.
EYFS Framework
We use the ‘EYFS’ (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework. The EYFS sets the standards for learning, development and care for children from birth to five.
Good
Mayflower is Ofsted inspected. The most recent inspection of this setting was June 2022 which rated Mayflower as “good” with many positive comments from the inspector.
Local Offer
We also fulfil requirements for the “The Local Offer” which you can read about by clicking here.
