Our Vision

Here at Good Shepherd Early Years, we believe every child is unique and created in the image and likeness of God. Our young children are at the heart of everything we do. We celebrate the unique qualities and interests of every child and nurture them to reach full potential to take their place in the world. In Romero we have set out our principles here.

Our Mission

We nurture our children by-

  • Providing a safe, stimulating and happy environment indoors and outdoors with adults promoting the love of learning.
  • Developing a child’s problem solving and thinking with natural open-ended tasks, as well as acquiring the mastery of reading, writing and maths.
  • Enabling children to take risks and develop their natural curiosity, provoking awe and wonder.
  • Giving real experiences.

PE

Nursery will have PE on Thursdays this term. Children will need to wear comfortable shoes for movement only, no specific PE kit is required.
