Head of School's Message 

Happy new year and welcome back! Thank you for completing the survey at the end of the last term. The words you used to describe Heath Lane were overwhelmingly positive, as illustrated in the word cloud below. On Monday, Heath Lane staff reviewed your feedback, considered Roots Federation values (Development, Education, Community) and British Values, to decide our own child-friendly values.

​

I am delighted to share with you our exciting new nursery values: Respect, Safety, and Confidence. These values reflect the heart of what we strive to nurture in our children and the ethos that guides everything we do here at Heath Lane Nursery School.

Respect teaches our children to value themselves, others, and the world around them. From showing kindness to friends to caring for their environment, respect helps build the foundation for positive relationships and a strong sense of community.

Safety is at the forefront of our practice. We aim to create a nurturing and secure environment where children feel protected and supported, empowering them to explore, learn, and grow with confidence.

Confidence is key to helping our children thrive. We encourage each child to believe in themselves, take on challenges, and celebrate their achievements, big and small. Confidence enables our children to develop resilience and a love of learning that will carry them through life.

These values will be woven into our daily activities, routines, and interactions, ensuring they become a natural part of every child’s experience at our nursery. We also invite you to join us in modelling and reinforcing these values at home.
