Mission Statement
Crane Moor Training offers high quality, flexible learning and development programmes to
increase the confidence and skill levels of individuals and which benefit the childcare setting,
children, their families and ultimately, the community.
In 2003 the Government published a green paper – Every Child Matters – prompting a debate
about services for children, young people and families.
Five outcomes were identified as being most important to children:
1.
Be healthy
2.
Stay safe
3.
Enjoy and achieve
4.
Make a positive contribution
5.
Achieve economic well-being
The Government recognises that people working with children play a crucial role in meeting these outcomes.
Crane Moor Training offers individuals working with children (either employed or as volunteers) the opportunity to gain a recognised
qualification which supports the initiative of developing a more valued, skilled and flexible workforce, striving to provide the very best care for
children.
OUR VALUES
We believe that:
People working with children should be valued, trained and rewarded
Carers of children in any setting are of vital importance in improving outcomes for children and young people
Every person (adult or child) is unique in their needs for fulfilling their potential
Learning enhances self esteem and success promotes a pride in what we do
Learning is a lifelong process through which everyone can achieve their potential and exceed their expectations
Individuals achieve beyond their expectations when there are security and mutual respect, and expectations are high.
Caring relationships are fundamental to the development and fulfilment of ourselves and others and also to the good of the community
OUR VISION
To provide a firm foundation for growth, learning and development through the pursuit of excellent practice demonstrated by individuals
committed to the support and nurture of children.
OUR AIMS
To provide a flexible programme for developing skills and knowledge which overcomes time constraints and recognises the need for
maintaining a work life balance
To provide a support structure for learners who may not have studied formally for a long time
To improve the effectiveness of support for the child and the setting
To deliver a unique training programme which celebrates the individual’s strengths and prior achievements
To help individuals identify opportunities and interests in further development and training
To encourage the learner to direct and monitor their own learning and thus derive satisfaction from their achievements
To maintain a relationship with the setting, seeking feedback regarding the effectiveness of the training
