WELCOME

TODDLERS (2-3 YEARS)
 

The toddler unit is located on the ground floor of the nursery and offers everything children need for the 2-3 age group. As they progress from the comfort of the baby room, toddlers will enjoy new experiences and start to develop more independence as they move to this room. The unit consists of a main play room with a carpeted area for activities, and a hard floor area for messy play and meal times, as well as direct access to the front garden where children can enjoy outdoor play throughout the year.

 

In order to support children with toilet training and self-care skills, the toddler unit is equipped with nappy changing facilities as well as its own child sized toilets and wash basins for children at different stages of toilet training. Here the children are given the opportunity to socialise with their friends at meal times and the freedom to select which activities they would like to engage in.

​

Resources are carefully chosen to help encourage a range of valuable life skills including hand-eye coordination, numeracy and literacy, gross and fine motor skills, personal, social and emotional skills and also starting to introduce some risk taking and critical thinking through child lead and adult lead activities.

PRE-SCHOOL (3-5 YEARS)
 

The pre-school unit is also located on the ground floor, looking out onto the back garden with direct access for children through the patio doors. This is a fantastic space which enables our oldest children to access a number of activities either as individuals, as a group, being child lead or adult lead.

​

The carpeted area and den structure is a perfect space to relax, share a story or a song, or even explore some small world play. There's a large hard floor area with tables where children can enjoy messy play, sand and water, table top activities and of course meal times. The kitchenette and children's bathroom completes the unit.

​​

When children progress through to the preschool room, their focus shifts to school readiness, preparing for life after nursery and everything that entails. Children aged 3-5 will really come into their own here as they establish their personalities, form strong relationships with staff and piers whilst still encouraging children to learn through play and follow their own interests. Mealtimes offer the chance to socialise with friends, try new flavours and textures of food and also practice self serving and table manners.
