Objectives and Activities.
Objectives
Here at St Bonaventure's we strive to provide high quality care and education for children in their pre-school year . We appreciate this can be a huge step into the wider world for children, parents and families, so we pride ourselves on our ability to ensure all children feel happy safe and secure with us. St Bonaventure's Pre-School is a warm welcoming and caring environment . The aims of the Charity are to enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age.
Activities
We strive to achieve our objectives by offering appropriate play, education, and care facilities, together with facilitating parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities of the preschool , ensuring that the preschool offers opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability.
We are passionate about providing the best start in life for children in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Children are unique and we treat them all with respect. Practitioners love to chat with the children, exploring their views and extending their learning . Children who are happy will learn through their play. Our highly qualified and experienced practitioners support and extend their learning.
We nurture children's self-esteem and wellbeing and foster a sense of belonging and pride in their preschool. Children are encouraged to "have a go" and persevere in their endeavours. We promote risk taking whilst following strict health and safety guidelines . We take great pride in promoting children's involvement in a variety of physical exercise and an awareness of a healthy lifestyle.

Achievements and Performance.
Achievements and Performance
During the period 1st September 2022 - 31st August 2023 we provided play, education and care facilities to a total of 26 children from our local community.
We provided this to children who are active learners who play in an engaged and purposeful way. Staff used observation and assessment to monitor data of children’s achievements consistently and track children’s progress effectively this information was then used to plan and provide purposeful activities to develop learning. This highly effective assessment also helped staff plan in detail to meet children's individual care and learning needs.
Staff were able to draw on a wealth of knowledge and experience that they could then use to develop positive strategies that support all children in their learning. Staff were then able to effectively share this with parents ensuring a consistent approach to children's learning continued to be successfully achieved . Partnerships with parents remained strong, with staff using various strategies to keep parents well informed about their children’s learning and how to extend this at home.
The manager expertly evaluated the quality of the provision and identified any staff training needs through a robust system of supervision , this training then had a positive impact on outcomes for the children, as staff were able to share their newly gained knowledge with the whole team, providing a holistic approach to learning.
The manager and her team developed strong relationships with other professionals and used this support to further help to ensure that staff practice and the provision are carefully adapted to meet the needs of all children . As a result, the children make exceptional progress from their starting points.
