Happylands follows an open-door policy to create a child led learning environment, following the principles of our 5 Cs:
- Curiosity – a natural learning approach that focuses on individual needs and interests, using spark and imagination.
- Community – creating positive relationships and links with the children, staff, parents and the local area. We introduce a positive attitude to the children when covering different cultural beliefs and celebrations during learning.
- Comfort – creating a safe and homely learning environment based on caring and sharing for one another and our surroundings.
- Confidence – encouraging children to have “a can do” attitude to try new ways of learning and promote independence, resulting in enjoying and achieving.
- Challenge – encouraging children to take risks, trying new learning approaches and push themselves to achieve next steps.
