Welcome to the CAN Schools Federation. We are two well-established, teacher-led nursery schools supporting children and families in Derby.
At Central Community and Ashgate Nursery Schools’ Federation, we will be schools where:
Happiness, resilience and well-being are at the heart of all our activities and endeavours.
All individuals become confident, curious learners who enjoy challenge.
Our schools are a collaborative learning community based on research and enquiry that welcomes and values everyone's contribution.
The natural environment underpins our passion and desire for early education.
We inspire all to excel today and in the future.
To ensure every child is respected and valued for their contribution.
To provide an environment bursting with opportunities for imaginative and creative journeys.
To be inclusive and supportive for all children and families, building positive relationships in a welcoming and friendly environment.
To build a passion for learning and develop enquiring minds.
To use our beautiful gardens for all season, all weather play and exploration.
