Early Years education is of value in itself.

It offers each child opportunities, appropriate to this particular time in life, that will not be experienced again.

Parents are children’s primary educators and partnership work is essential.

The experiences offered at Bognor Regis Nursery School and the Orchard Room provide a sound foundation that enables the children to take advantage of future educational opportunities.

Each child is unique and should be valued and respected as such.

Young children learn from everything that happens to them and they do not compartmentalise their learning.

The process of learning is as important as the end result.

The relationships that children develop with each other and the adults in the School and Centre's environment directly affect their access to all areas of the curriculum.

Children’s Ethnic, faith and cultural heritage are valued and respected.

Children’s learning is best fostered in an environment that builds on individual children’s strengths.
