Kids' activities Nursery School
PIPS is a small children's Nursery, providing children of no more than twelve children per day, with a unique home from home environment. Based in Pippa’s home in Strethall and located on a farm, four miles from Saffron Walden, the children enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise. Ages range from three months to three years. At PIPS we believe children of this age group need plenty of one to one attention throughout the day so we are able to give them this during their time here.
We treat every child as an individual, with their own special strengths and weaknesses. At PIPS they enjoy developing their own strengths and are given every opportunity to flourish and reach their potential. As early years practitioners we can help build on the areas where they are less confident and secure. We cannot make the world free of discrimination and a safe place to be – but we can do our very best to ensure that our early years setting is a small model of what we would like the world to be, where children are safe, valued and included.

A. offers families a competitive childcare and education solution for children from 3 months to 5 years. As soon as a baby receives their first immunisations he/she may start in the Nursery.
Our staff, who are highly qualified and experienced, will welcome you and your child at a series of settling sessions where we find out as much about your child as possible so we are able to plan for their interests and individual needs. At this point we arrange a key person for you to liaise with and this practitioner will look after your child’s needs and carry out their observations and assessments. This is done digitally through a safe system called eyLog. Practitioners are able to take photos, videos and audio observations and send them to you soon after they occur so you are constantly in touch with how your child is developing. As your child’s main educator, we would ask that you share observations from home with us in order to create your child’s ‘Learning Journey’. Next steps are then produced from all observations to provide opportunities and experiences to take your child to the next step in their development.
Assessments are carried out when children reach their 2 ½ year milestone which we suggest you share with your health visitor. Sometimes during this busy year when children are developing quickly, children may need extra support. Our SENDCO will intervene if required, who is trained to liaise with outside professionals to offer this support. Please see our Local Offer. At this setting we have several areas of expertise which are the ‘Bronze Autism Award’ and the ‘Eklan Communication Friendly Setting Award‘. We have undergone further training and assessments to gain these accolades which we feel have prepared us for our work with children and families. Staff are kept up to date with training and are regularly updated with first aid, food hygiene and safeguarding. Policies and procedures help us to maintain high quality childcare to aid the learning and development of every child who attends the Nursery and to prepare them for lifelong learning. At A. we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and are registered with Ofsted.

After teacher training I spent a year on supply working at various schools on short and long term placements in a variety of subjects. During one placement at a pupil referral unit I was offered a full time position and worked here for 1 year with students with behavioural difficulties and special needs. I then moved to Frederick Gough school in scunthorpe again to fill a position as a teacher of ICT I am now in my 9th year of teaching. After 2 years I secured a position as a head of year and have worked with all age groups from 7 to 11 in this time providing pastoral care and coordinating the learning over over 270 students. I Have just completed my NPQSL (National professional qualification for senior leaders) and hope to make the step to assistant head in the very near future. My relationship and rapport with all students is excellent and I am to help them achieve their best, whatever that may be.
