Visions and Values

Moon River is an accepting community where everyone feels like part of the family. Our team are nurturing and caring, they focus on forming warm and loving relationships with the children they spend time with.

Influenced by the Reggio philosophy, we encourage children to explore, get messy - to feel free to express themselves using our open-ended and inspiring resources. Children know that adults will help them to bring their unique and creative ideas to life.

We take pride in being a home from home for children in our care. Our environment is thoughtfully prepared to be a calm, accessible and comfortable space for children. It is light and spacious, with ample choice of beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces – there is so much for children to explore.

Our vision and values have been captured in collaboration between children, leadership and our team. They are for our families, to show and share what is most important to us.

  • We value community, we see parents, staff and children as a family.

  • We value our team, and everything they bring to the children and to one another.

  • We value childhood, we give children time to ‘be’.

  • We value friendship and friends.

  • We value play, and the happiness and joy that it brings to children.

  • We value creativity.

  • We value inclusivity, giving all children equitable access to the rich experiences on offer.

  • We value strong relationships, and know that they are the foundation for well being.
