The nursery years are often the first step on a journey that opens the wonder of a new and growing world for your child.

At Our Pride Our Joy, we understand that the first step can seem scary and daunting for parents and children, so we strive to create a safe environment where all children feel a sense of belonging to support them to learn, grow and develop. Building strong partnerships with parents from the outset ensures parents are reassured that their child is in safe hands.

Our aim  

At Our Pride Our Joy, inclusion is at the heart of our ethos, and our vision is to provide a safe place for all children to play, explore and discover.  

As part of the Fierte family, we embrace and uphold the Trust’s values of 

We care.  We care about each child as an individual and aim to enable all children, including those who are vulnerable or with SEND, to flourish and realise good levels of development and attainment.  

We leave no one behind. Supporting all children, including those who are vulnerable or have SEND, is central to tackling disadvantage as they face a significantly wider attainment gap and are disproportionately affected by poverty, making inclusion a key driver in addressing long-term inequalities.  

We celebrate individuality. We recognise that no two children are the same and, therefore, we will always put the child at the centre of an approach which identifies their specific needs and strengths.  

We are brave.  We recognise the challenges that can arise in supporting vulnerable children, including those with SEND, and we aim to be brave in how we meet these. We will support the unique child in front of us and their needs right now, and aim to understand their viewpoint of the world; continually reflecting on our approach to ensure we keep the child central and at the forefront of any decisions.
