Convent of Mercy Nursery School Aims

We believe that all children are unique and should be valued as individuals.

We hope that by the end of their time with us, the children will have developed a wide range of skills.

We hope that they will:

  • be more independent
  • be able to talk confidently to children and staff
  • show a willingness to listen
  • begin to develop social awareness, to share, to take turns and to value others
  • be curious, have gained knowledge and experience of the world in which they live
  • develop an ability to concentrate, to persevere and to follow through an activity
  • look forward to their new school with confidence
