The Co-operative Childcare is part of The Midcounties Co-operative, the largest independent co-operative in the UK. Co-operat ... ive values and principles are part of the unique relationship that unites The Co-operative Movement around the world. Our colleagues and members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others. These values are even more important in childcare, they are closely linked to the four principles of the EYFS and our parents and colleagues believe that this is what makes us different. Democracy, Openness, Equality and Social Responsibility. Our values can be broken down into four main principles that all our nurseries adhere to ensuring we consistently provide all children with premium care and education. Children learn most effectively when they are having fun, by making their own choices and having first-hand experiences. At the Co-operative Childcare our children lead their own learning, explore their own imaginations, build their self-confidence, learn from their own mistakes and take charge of their own exciting adventures every day. We look at every experience as an opportunity for learning, and we surround our children with stimulating resources and dedicated practitioners that help their development in every way. Our nurseries are built with children at the forefront of our minds so pay us a visit today and see what we can offer you and your child. read more
