Our Vision & Aims
What we would like to promote and achieve
At Daisy daycare we believe in creating a warm and happy atmosphere for all children, staff and parents. We promote this by creating strong, positive relationships within a home from home environment.
​
We believe in nature based learning, which encourages us to teach our children through nature and our natural environment.
​
Our aim is to observe each child, and plan accordingly to their individual needs, by enhancing and extending learning opportunities, allowing our children to progress in their development.
Hygge in the Early Years Accreditation
What is Hygge?
'Hygge' is the Danish saying and feeling of calm, quality of cosiness and positive well-being.
​
Hygge is pronounced "Hue-gue" and doesn't necessarily mean one thing as it is an overall feeling.
​
By completing our 'Hygge' in the early years accreditation we have adapted our environment to become calm and cosy which we aim to have a positive impact on the staff and children's well-being.
​
Our aim is to introduce awe, wonder, joy and comfort to our children, especially making them feel safe and secure when at nursery.
We have incorporated Hygge into our curriculum by creating invitations to play and provocations around the children's interests. We aim to develop and challenge the children by extending play experiences and supporting them learning through play.
'Hygge'
- We have introduced 'Hygge Fridays' to support our staffs general well-being. We promote positive affirmations and use positive praise to ensure our staff feel appreciated and valued.
- For our children we have incorporated well-being sessions in our routine such as developing breathing techniques.
- We turn down bright lights and use the natural light around us to create a warm atmosphere.
​
- We have introduced calming music during times that would usually be busier than normal.
