All children participate in the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage: a unique child, positive relationships, enabling environments and learning and developing.
BABY ROOM -
0-2 years
All our babies are encouraged to participate in numerous activities including sand and water play, various art activities, Jigsaws, shape sorters, treasure baskets, musical instruments, construction blocks, dressing up and role play and the home corner. Picture books are at hand for those quieter moments. The baby room’s daily routine is very flexible taking into account each child’s individual needs. Each baby has their own daily diary to record their routine and development. Parent/carers are then able to share their child’s day.
TODDLER ROOM
2-3 years
We have a spacious Room for our toddlers. Throughout the day toddlers enjoy sand and water play, art activities, role play and dressing up, home corner, jigsaws, large and small construction, music and dance, musical instruments and small world toys. Our book area is for sharing books, quiet time and reflection. There is a planned schedule of activities which develop insights into early concepts which give our toddlers confidence to go forward in preparation for preschool.
PRESCHOOL
3-5 years
Our preschool is a rich, stimulating, interesting and challenging environment. The children follow a daily planned programme of activities which ensure the quality of children’s play through sensitive adult interaction and to structure further learning by close observation of children’s self initiated play. Staff ensure equality of opportunity for all children.
