We’re raising standards in early years education and childcare…
Our mission is to deliver the highest quality early years education and childcare, underpinned by current research in the sector.
What that looks like in practice – is a flexible, personalised curriculum designed to help children grow at their own pace through play, active learning, creating and thinking critically.
By keeping our focus on the process, we help to build creative and adventurous learners.
The Raised In way
We deliver the highest quality nursery provision based on the following principles…
A Superstar Team
All of our nursery provision is led by a qualified teacher or early years graduate.
Everyone working at Raised In receives at least the Living Wage Foundation’s Real Living Wage.
We promote and support the continuing professional development of all our employees, and advocate lifelong learning.
A culture of continuous improvement - we use self-evaluation frameworks, including the ‘Bristol Standard’, to ensure we’re always on top of our game.
Adventurous Learners
Communication and language
We help children make themselves heard in the world and listen to others too – both adults and peers. It helps to centre them in the world.
Physical development
Our curriculum reflects the importance of activity and play in young children’s learning and development – there’s plenty of running, jumping and climbing trees.
Personal, social and emotional development
Our prioritising of the pastoral is geared towards helping your child to make relationships, manage relationships and build self-confidence.
Literacy
These are key skills, and we take them very seriously. That’s why we focus on engaging ways to handhold children on their first steps through reading, writing…
Mathematics
… and ’rithmetic.
Understanding the world
We offer a stimulating environment, which engages the children and encourages their curiosity about the world through observation, critical thinking and problem solving.
Expressive arts and design
We encourage children to be inquisitive, imaginative and questioning learners, exploring the world through a range of mediums including music and art.
We give each child a personalised curriculum based on the key principles arising from Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) guidance.
Healthy & Happy
Secure attachments and positive relationships. Our nursery provision has a clear key person system and we prioritise children’s emotional wellbeing. Above all else children should feel secure, comfortable and a sense of belonging.
Our food meets the ‘Eat Better, Start Better’ recommendations. It’s healthy, balanced, nutritious… and it tastes really good, too.
All our nurseries incorporate outdoor play and access to natural spaces as a key element of the design.
Community Focused
We are part of the local landscape. As such, our nurseries look to enhance our curriculum by embracing partnerships and opportunities available in the community.
The children come first, but we know they’re not the only important ones. We value and actively promote the involvement of parents and families in the day-to-day life of our nurseries.
As part of our ongoing commitment to inclusivity, Raised In reflects and celebrates the diversity of the communities and families in the community.
