We
pride ourselves on the quality of education that we deliver and
work hard to make sure that every child achieves to the best of
their ability. We have an extremely caring, experienced and qualified
staff team who nurture, stimulate and support all children through
a range of activities.
In
a recent OFSTED Inspection (October 2008) St. Mary's achieved 'Outstanding'
grades in the 4 main areas of judgement. The following excerpts
from the report indicate St. Mary's strengths and give a feel of
how the pre-school runs.
'All children receive an extremely high standard of care and
participate in very stimulating and often exciting learning experiences,
which ensure that they make strong progress and are fully engaged
in purposeful play. The setting has a very strong ethos of inclusion
and support for children with individual needs.'
'All children are eager learners because the setting provides a
very well targeted and purposeful curriculum, within a secure, hygienic
and extremely well planned environment.'
The
setting was awarded a Certificate of Achievement from Buckinghamshire
County Council on the 15th October 2008
'in recognition of our outstanding contribution towards excellent,
high quality childcare services in Buckinghamshire.'
We
run 5 morning sessions putting into practice the principles of the
Early Years Foundation Stage. St Mary’s is an inclusive setting,
which promotes and values equality of opportunity for all our children
and families.
The
safety of children is paramount in this setting
