Emotional Personal and Social Development
Our aim is to provide a secure environment where children are encouraged to become independent, self-motivated and self-disciplined, and become aware of the needs of others.
We will achieve this through encouraging children to:
Become secure and confident away from parent/care giver and feel able to describe their fears and/or insecurities.
Care for themselves and their personal safety.
Play co-operatively, take turns and share.
Show care and consider feelings of others.
Take responsibility for their own behaviour - and be prepared to accept correction and modification
Accept and understand reasons behind 'rules' within the nursery and to use equipment with care.
Learn to take responsibility for their own daily programme of activities, make choices and develop independence, e.g. in dressing and personal hygiene
Accept direction and instruction when necessary to help them towards an understanding of why a specific task needs to be handled in a certain way. Persevere in more difficult tasks.
Work alone, or as part of a small group. Also working as part of the 'whole' group and with adults. Form positive relationships with all members of group and begin to develop particular friendships with other children
Become aware of the importance of cultural and religious festivals in people's lives and develop positive attitudes to others whose gender, language, religion or culture is different from their own.
Care for the environment and other people in the community.
