Welcome to Lakera Early Years Nursery
At Lakera Early Years Nursery, we believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life. We believe that every child is a little seed with the potential to grow into a strong, confident and flourishing tree. With the right care, nurturing, support and opportunities, children can develop strong foundations that allow them to thrive.
Our nursery has been created to provide a warm, safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel confident to explore, learn, play and grow. We understand that choosing a nursery is one of the most important decisions a parent or carer can make. That is why we are committed to creating a setting where children are genuinely cared for, families feel welcomed and every child is recognised as an individual.
OUR TREE PHILOSOPHY
Our philosophy is built around a simple belief:
Every child is a little seed.
A seed may be small, but within it is incredible potential. With the right soil, water, sunlight, care and time, a seed can grow into a strong and beautiful tree. We believe children are the same. They need the right environment, loving relationships, encouragement, opportunities and time to develop.
EVERY CHILD HAS POTENTIAL
Every child arrives with their own personality, interests, strengths and potential. Just as no two seeds are exactly the same, no two children are the same.
We celebrate each child’s individuality and recognise that children develop at different rates and in different ways. Our role is to discover what makes each child special and provide the support they need to flourish.
LOVE, SAFETY & BELONGING
Before a tree can grow tall, it needs strong roots. For children, those roots are built through:
- Love
- Safety
- Trust
- Consistency
- Positive relationships
- A sense of belonging
- Emotional security
At Lakera, we want every child to feel:
- I am safe.
- I am cared for.
- I belong.”*
- I am valued.
Strong emotional foundations help children develop the confidence to explore the world around them.
LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT
As a child grows, they need opportunities to explore, discover, communicate and develop new skills.
Through *play, exploration and meaningful learning experiences*, we support children’s development across the Early Years Foundation Stage.
We encourage children to:
- Ask questions
- Explore
- Experiment
- Communicate
- Create
- Solve problems
- Make choices
- Develop independence
We believe learning should be exciting, meaningful and enjoyable.
CONFIDENCE & INDIVIDUALITY
As a tree grows, its branches reach in different directions. Children grow in different directions too.
One child may flourish through language. Another may shine through creativity, music, physical development, friendships, problem-solving or imaginative play. We encourage children to discover their interests and strengths while developing:
- Confidence
- Independence
- Resilience
- Communication
- Creativity
- Social skills
We don’t expect every child to grow in exactly the same way. We give each child the space to grow into who they are.
EXPERIENCES & MEMORIES
Leaves represent all the experiences that become part of a child’s journey.
Every:
- Story
- Song
- Friendship
- Adventure
- Outdoor experience
- Creative activity
- Celebration
- Discovery
- New challenge
becomes part of their early years story.
We want children to build happy memories while developing a positive attitude towards learning and the world around them.
THE CHILD FLOURISHING
Our ultimate goal is not simply for children to grow older. We want them to flourish
When children leave Lakera Early Years Nursery, we want them to have strong foundations for their next chapter.
We want them to be:
- Confident.
- Kind.
- Curious.
- Independent.
- Resilient.
- Happy.
- Ready to learn.
Just as a strong tree continues to grow and reach towards the sky, we want every child to leave Lakera believing:
I can grow. I can learn. I can achieve.
