Bangor on Dee Childcare aims to offer the children a safe, secure and happy environment where their individuality is respected and valued from a team of qualified and dedicated staff. We promote all areas of children's development through providing good quality early years education and work towards making children more independent in self care in preparation for the transition to Nursery and Reception classes. We seek to foster the children's natural curiosity and a love of learning through a range of stimulating activities and experiences. It is our aim to provide care and education of the highest quality that will enable all of our children to become successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and community members. We also aim to provide locally accessible, affordable pre school education to the public living within our local rural community and surrounding areas. We will remain at the heart of the local community and maintain excellent links with the local primary school where we are situated. We also welcome the admission of children with additional needs. We aim to make working at Bangor on Dee Childcare enjoyable and rewarding with fair opportunities for staff and further training and promotion. |
