Personal and Social Development, Well-Being and Cultural Diversity

Personal and Social Development, Well-Being and Cultural Diversity is at the heart of the foundation phase and children will learn about themselves and relationships with others. Children will be able to express their needs confidently and will experience a warm and caring relationship with staff. As they progress with us the children will gradually learn to become more independent by serving their own water and snacks. Children are taught good table manners and etiquette from a young age. Through social play the children come to appreciate the importance of taking others needs and feelings into account and how to form positive relationships with others. They will learn to care for both the immediate environment and the wider world around them. We have set up a self registration system where the children place their picture and name on a happy or sad face dependant on how they feel that day which opens up the opportunity to discuss how they feel. We celebrate different cultures and help children recognise and gain a positive awareness of their own and other cultures as well as appreciating the value of the diversity that exists in multi cultural Wales. The children are supported to become confident, competent and independent thinkers.
