"No set ‘planning’ here! We are led by your child’s interests."
We look for opportunities to allow learning through child-initiated play.
We provide opportunities and environments that stimulate curiosity.
We observe and listen closely so you can follow the child’s lead.
We pick up on the thing/place/person/idea that has sparked the child’s interest.
We use open ended questions that ask for a description, rather than a yes/no or other single word answer – these usually start with what/how/why rather that do/is/can - (‘What do you like about that?’ rather than ‘Do you like that?’)
We praise and reinforce positive learning experiences.
We record both practitioner/child interactions and child/child interactions.
We take photos of this and add to Tapestry as another way of recording progress.
We use some time for reflecting with the children what they have done/learned/found interesting during that session and feed this into your records.
"The adult goes to the child. The adult doesn’t call the child to come to them."
Here at Hawksfield, we have an open plan kitchen where our fresh meals and snacks are prepared daily...
We encourage our children to serve themselves and become independent with their self care needs.
Our eating times are social fun occasions where the children are introduced to lots of different foods and flavours - making eating time a positive and encouraging time for all.
