Our Ethos & Aims
Pekes Bilingual Nursery has a Christian ethos.
The ethos of the nursery has been shaped by the vision and values of the church community out of which it has grown.
As such, the nursery ethos is spiritual, communal, innovative, and outward-looking, encapsulated in our values of ‘faith,’ ‘family,’ and ‘future.’
1. Family
We want to build a family culture that is affirming, inclusive, and secure where each child feels like they belong. We do this by working closely with parents, teachers, nursery supporters, and the local church community.
2. Faith
Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life.” As a Christian nursery, we seek to help each child discover their purpose and learn principles that they can build their life on so that they can lead a full and fulfilling life.
3. Future
We are forward-looking and forward-thinking. We want to prepare our children for the
fast-changing and challenging world they
are growing up in. We aim to provide an innovative and relevant education that will equip them to shape this dynamic new world.
