We are committed to providing excellent standards of childcare and preschool education, following the government curriculum. A caring, cooperative preschool environment promotes cultural values and supports positive relationships and respepectful interaction which can be seen through our british values which are always promoted in our setting. Hedge end village Preschool actively promotes the fundamental values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and the mutual respect and tolerance of those who have different faiths and beliefs. These are interpreted for our youngest children through; learning right from wrong; modelling mutual respect, positive relationships and offering second had experiences (such as stories and learning through media); learning to take turns and share and by challenging negative stereotypes. By this every child is valued, confident and feel safe and secure to be able to achieve their own goals and achievements.
