How Hygge works
Applying the concept of Hygge within our setting has allowed us to focus on creating a home-from-home feeling.
We combine many elements, including items from the outside world, lighting, soft furnishings and essential oils to add to our provision. Having calm and relaxed team members and children enables a positive learning space.
We take time to be in the moment and to appreciate what is around us at that time. Simple pleasures like listening to the birds in our garden, or stopping to count how many spots a ladybird has.
The Hygge approach is about focusing on the process and not the end product. This fits in beautifully with our 'In The Moment Planning' (ITMP). These intertwine to bring a child focus to all we do and to follow each child’s own learning path.
We incorporate what is happening in the outside world into our play. In the Summer, we might have ice play with herbs and flowers in so that young children can enjoy the cool whilst exploring with all their senses. In Autumn, we explore pumpkins and have fires to toast marshmallows.
Famly
We use Famly to share your child’s learning journey at preschool with you. You can use the app to share information on your child, keep us updated with their likes and dislikes, allergies and what they have been doing at home. In return we share photos and observations of your child, as well as monthly newsletters and daily information.

Parent Feedback
Parent feedback is always gratefully received. We work hard to do our best for your children while they are in our care. It is always nice to hear from the parents that they are happy with the job we are doing. We are aware that feedback isn't always positive and we welcome this because we feel as though it provides us with the opportunity to review our settings when it is necessary, to make any positive changes in order to improve the environment.
