Centre Aims
We will provide the highest quality education,
care and support for families, in a warm and
welcoming environment, where each individual
child, parent/carer and centre worker will be
consulted, respected and valued.
We will nurture and support them to achieve
their maximum potential to make safe and
healthy lifestyle choices, enjoy and achieve,
make a positive contribution to their community
and as they grow, improve their economic
well-being.
We will have an awareness and understanding
of an individual’s needs and abilities;
acknowledging and celebrating their diversity,
successes and achievements to encourage all
centre users within the local community to
become lifelong learners.
