FAITH HOPE LOVE
Our Aim
Sweet Hearts Childcare bases every aspect of its works on 'Faith, Hope and Love'.
Every child is a unique part of the puzzle of society and we believe in investing into them, planting good and positive seeds to see good and positive growth, changing the future for the better!
We aim to support families and the community.
We are here to be a 'listening ear' and 'a helping hand'.
Our setting is a small setting whereby children, staff and parents have close relationships with one another. Our setting is bright and refreshing providing children with a range of learning opportunities. We aim to provide a stimulating and enabling environment for children to grow learn, flourish and be nurtured in.
Our setting is in a small, country village in Cornwall. We have a park located next door to our setting and and plenty of fields near by to explore and have adventures in. The local primary school is within 10 minutes walking distance and other local primary schools are a short drive.
We enjoy exploring our local area as well as learning and playing in our setting, we like to make the most out of our local attractions such as the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. We are very blessed to live a short drive from the beach, woods, moors and we are located just opposite a large playing field perfect for large scale physical play. We also have an outside area which we play and explore in; this can be accessed through doors which open out from our main preschool room. We would like to plant vegetables in this area in the spring to tend to and attract some new bugs, insects and butterflies to investigate. Our outside area is a natural space which we change and develop according to the needs at the time; we have a shed which we store various outdoor toys, activities and equipment inside.
The main play room is where our children learn and explore in; this room can be divided into two areas. We also use a small room divider to separate an area for younger children or napping area. Resources and toys are chosen at the beginning of each week to have available, this ensures child ren's imagination, ideas and role-play remains new and fresh. We have found this process of rotating our resources works really well and our children seem to engage well and not feel overwhelmed with many options but encourage their ability to make choices in play. We have recently also prepared a separate room for an extra play space and for small group activities, helping to encourage communication and language between children using interventions such as Early Talk Boost, Reading Eggs, Healthy Movers as well as Makaton. We have free flow sessions throughout the day where the children are able to socialise with older or younger children as they would like to.
We are supported by the Government and Local Authority in providing care and education for all children in our local community. Our staff have been trained in providing care for children with varying needs, abilities and skills including children with SEND or those who may require extra support within the setting.
