Federation Vision for SACC AND mAPLES NURSERY SCHOOLS AND CHILDREN CENTRES

The future vision for a federation is that there will be two outstanding maintained Nursery Schools in the Acton area that will provide high quality education for all children in the locality. This will ensure children will have the best possible start to their education in a friendly, supportive and fun learning environment providing solid foundations for their future. It is fundamental that children are able to access high quality education in their local area and to meet the demand for places.

There will be a strong partnership across the staff teams enabling collaborative working and training to promote, maintain and evolve the ‘grow your own ethos’ striving for highly qualified staff with the opportunity for progression in their career paths. To use a peer on peer approach across the settings to enable a seamless support network, share good practice and develop innovative ways of working. To also have the flexibility for staff to work across both settings supporting the difficulties in staff recruitment and retention and opening opportunities for new roles.

The federation will allow for a sustainable and viable future enabling cost savings by negotiating dual contracts for building and maintenance, sharing of resources and provision as well as joint training. We will continue to developing new ways of working, sharing innovative ideas, the possibilities are endless on a journey together. A journey that involves a staff group of very passionate, highly qualified, skilled and knowledgeable professionals in Early Years.
