Our Approach to Teaching

Thomas Boughey Kindergarten exists to serve its wonderfully rich and diverse local community and pride ourselves in serving the local children and families to the best of our ability.

Our overriding motto is ‘Playing, Learning, Succeeding’.

  • Everything we do is child centred.
  • To achieve this our skilled practitioners, use a variety of techniques and strategies which enable learning to take place.
  • Play is key to learning & succeeding at TBK.
  • We believe quality play allows children the confidence to engage, explore & build a strong sense of independence through new experiences.

Thomas Boughey Kindergarten provide opportunities to develop knowledge, skills, attitudes, and characters within an enriched learning environment with an enthusiastic emphasis on learning within the outdoors. This is seen as an extension to the children’s indoor learning space.

We practice using the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework as a base along with multiple strategies from the bespoke Stoke Speaks Out Toolkit to support individual learning.

These are tailored to specific needs focusing on children’s individual level of development whilst capitalising on their interests to achieve learning outcomes.

We are regularly informed of children’s progress by entry point baselines and on-going assessments as well as effective communication between home and setting, guiding our quality teaching for all children who access the setting and to support children to be ready for their next stage in learning.
