Our Philosophy:
At Little Oaks we believe learning starts at home and the partnership between the family, the nursery and the local community all contribute to the best early years experience for each child. Learning does not take place alone but as a union of experiences and interactions that happen in daily life. As a new member of the Leatherhead community we aim to make a difference here.
Our nursery places great emphasis on creativity and individualism, where children are encouraged to display kindness and respect for one another and therefore lay the foundations of good manners and sociability. We aim to encourage positive relationships and friendships between children. Our teachers carefully record progress of each child in order to prepare and plan carefully for the next steps of their development.
At Little Oaks we use an online learning journey called ‘Eylog’ to record our children’s learning and development. Children’s learning is referenced to the EYFS profile so that parents are able to see the areas of learning their children are achieving. ‘Eylog’ enables our parents to view their child’s observations, photographs and videos as they happen. Not only does this fantastic software give our parents the opportunity to see what their children are doing on a daily basis but it also enables them to write comments, add their own photos/videos and observations to their child’s learning journey with us.
We ensure that all our children benefit from varied and well-directed child led and adult led early learning opportunities through their involvement in a wide range of practical and educational activities.
