The activities and opportunities we provide for children helps with sharing, turn taking and being fair; it helps children to cope with illness and sadness, as well as celebrating success, achievements and anniversaries. At Moorland Nursery we focus on talking through what is right and what is wrong, we use pretend play, scenarios, situations and stories to develop children’s Personal, Social and Emotional Development .

The staff at Moorland Nursery aim to give children independence so that they have the skills to plan to make choices, these choices will initially be about play and friendships, but eventually about life-long learning.
