Our Vision

At Lainshaw  ECC our vision was created in October 2019. This was created by staff as a team and parents had a vote for what they thought our vision should be.

We decided our vision was:

Lainshaw Early Childhood Centre’s vision is to build trust in our community and make families believe they can be all they can be in life. We strive to encourage, nurture, empower, value and respect our children and families, aiming to break down barriers in learning and communication and to be able to contribute to society whilst being proud of the impact that they will have made for future generations. We aim to be at the heart of the community and welcoming all with equality, inclusion and respect to be part of our daily practice, whilst instilling lifelong skills for children to be proud of.

Our Aims

We will seek to:

• Provide a safe, happy, nurturing and stimulating environment in which every child and all involved in their development will feel welcome, respected, valued and confident.
• Provide a relevant, progressive and balanced curriculum indoors and outdoors with high quality learning experiences that supports and challenges children.
• Ensure children are at the centre of their learning, consulted in decision making and experiences take account of their individual interests and needs.
• Create an environment that encourages respectful relationships. Children will be supported to understand their feelings and become emotionally resilient and recognise that everyone has equal status and equal opportunities.
• Establish and nurture strong partnership links with parents and the wider community to work productively together to encourage innovative and forward thinking ideas to continually improve the service we provide.
