we aim to help your children

At Sticky Fingers we aim to give children confidence to believe in themselves and to enable them to want to learn and not to be afraid to challenge themselves and try again.  We want all children to be proud of themselves and their abilities to achieve.  We strive to teach children all we can through play and fun whilst they are with us and whilst we are promoting school readiness.

We are open to children over the age of 2 years 6 months up to 5 years old and our sessions are mixed age groups.  

We are members of the Early Learning Alliance (formerly known as Preschool Learning Alliance), and as such your family as preschool members are automatically members of the association.  

It is important to us that we 

• create an environment which encourages children to develop a positive self-image, regardless of race, language, religion, culture, special needs, or home background.
• help children to establish and sustain satisfying relationships within their families, with peers, and with other adults.
• encourage children to develop a sense of autonomy and independence.
• enable children to have the self-confidence and the vocabulary to resist inappropriate approaches.
• work with parents and carers to build their understanding of and commitment to the welfare of all our children.

Curriculum

Our focus is to ensure that every child is offered equal opportunities to be able to grow as an individual within our setting. We aim to offer a relaxed, welcoming, and enriched environment supporting children’s desires to explore, discover, learn, and develop. Whilst receiving the most generous care and attention supporting progress and celebrating achievements. 

Our Preschool is a registered charity supported by a board of committee members, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our children and expect all Staff, volunteers, and visitors to share this commitment.
