Our children swell with pride once they become members of “The Big Room”. In this room your child will have access to a wide range of activities, sand and water play, art and craft, mark-making, number activities, construction and role play opportunities to name but a few.

The 3s – 4s also have their own computers situated within the room. This encourages children’s ICT skills and is used daily.

Your child will also learn through Phase One of Letters & Sounds, this falls largely within the Literacy area of learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage. In particular, it supports the linking of sounds and letters in the order in which they occur in words, and the naming and sounding of the letters of the alphabet.

In this room we do our best to encourage a confidence and self-esteem in all the children which will enable them to happily make the transition to school.

Play

We believe that all children should be offered the opportunity to play in the outdoor areas everyday regardless of weather conditions as long as they have the right clothing and activities provided. We are lucky to have two large gardens, a nature garden and a sensory room that children can access. Staff plan in activities and share the areas to offer children a wide range of experiences including mud play, sensory play, sand and water areas, climbing areas, planting and exploring nature.

Steppers: 2-3’s Room (THE BUZZ ROOM)

Children move to our 2-3s room; here, the children follow a plan of activities, which can be adult or child initiated. Through our plans, various topics and themes are broken down into different activities and experiences for the children to take part in.

On a daily basis your child will participate in fun and educational activities while simultaneously learning about themselves and the world around them.

Throughout the day your child will have lots of opportunities to engage in free play activities, with time to explore, experiment, experience and find out things for themselves, as well as spending one to one time with their key person.

All activities can take place both indoors and outside in our nursery garden.

Of course these children are still in need of regular sleep and a lot of flexibility in their day.

Crawlers: Babies and Toddlers Room (B&Ts ROOM)

This room is open and it is where we care for our youngest children, those aged under two years.

A range of activities take place throughout the day which provide your child with a stimulating learning experience within a cosy and comforting environment.

Activities can take place both indoors and outside in our nursery garden.

The routine in the B&Ts room is kept very flexible, to enable us to meet the needs of each individual child. As an example, within the routine we do provide a set sleep time for the children, however at any time throughout the day if a child wants to sleep, then they sleep.
