Chapel St’s family services are built on the following core convictions and commitments:
People Matter
We will appoint a ‘Key Person’ to work with each child and family to ensure that they receive the necessary educational input and developmental support to fulfill their plan.
Children Matter
We will encourage children to take a lead in their learning, teaching them to work with and learn from each another.
Parents Matter
We will regularly invite parents to participate in educational activities, share in their children’s learning, benefit from parenting support and volunteer for additional activities.
Learning Matters
We will utilise a range of professionals alongside teachers and Family Development Workers to enhance the education, training and support provided for children and their families.
Play Matters
We will value play as an essential aspect of the learning process; ensuring that children have fun in the nursery and helping parents to take fun home.
Creativity Matters
We will encourage and unlock creativity and imagination in children and parents, enabling them to explore new ways of thinking and learning.
Environment Matters
We will work with children and parents to design sustainable and creative environments shaped for and by their learning.
Community Matters
We will recognise the unique assets and resources of the local community and build extra capacity by partnering with local people, groups and services wherever possible.
Health Matters
We will work with relevant agencies to develop healthy living initiatives with children and families.
Celebration Matters
We will celebrate the growth and achievements of children and their families.
