Vision & Ethos - Pepperbox Nursery

Mission Statement

“If your plan is for one year, plant rice. If your plan is for ten years, plant trees. If your plan is for one hundred years, educate children.” -Confucius

The Pepperbox Nursery provides high quality childcare in a secure and friendly environment where children are able to fully participate in all of the activities we provide. We place a strong emphasis on the desire to help all children reach their full potential enabling them to progress through life being independent, confident, having respect for others and developing positive values. Our planning and structure wholly support and reflect the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage ensuring that the individual child and their family is at the centre of all learning and development.

Aims and Objectives:
