We provide a secure, caring happy and structured environment where the children learn through meaningful and constructive play using materials and equipment, which have been carefully selected by the staff.
The EYFS sets the standard that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop and are kept healthy and safe. It works towards their readiness to move to a school environment by providing them with knowledge and skills to ensure good future progress in life.
The baby room provides a safe, stimulating, nurturing environment to encourage babies senses, to give them freedom and space to move around and the opportunity to explore their environment and encourage development.
The baby room staff will complete a daily diary on our Blossom App for each day informing the parent/guardian of their day, their sleep times, what food and milk they have consumed, nappy changes etc.
This room is more independent than the baby room. Children in here start to play alongside and with other children. They take part in lots of ring games and start to interact in play together. We talk about feelings through looking at books. We look at the world around us and what we can see and notice. We love reading books and follow a book each week, providing opportunities to enhance the learning of the children.
Providing an environment where children are allowed to 'have a go', using equipment that is not focused on a right or wrong answer encourages children of all ages to become confident learners.
Children are given unlimited opportunities for role play through props, dressing up clothes and small world play. Their Physical, and Creative Development are promoted (among many other things!) through free access to climbing frames and a wide selection of other equipment. The children can help themselves to a wide range of writing, drawing, painting and malleable materials at all times. The same applies to all daily art/craft activities some of which are based on the current activities and experiences we are planning for the children. Communication, Language and Literary and Mathematics are prioritised in a practical way in all play activities.
This room focuses on children becoming more independent. Following the children's lead in their interests and developing their learning through play. We incorporate lots of baking and interest in food and how it grows. We go to Longlands Lake to do Forest School sessions once a week. We utilise our outdoor area and have free flow, so children get to choose where to go. We focus on relationships within this room and the friendships they make and build on over time.
All parents/guardians are encouraged to visit the Nursery with their child during the weeks before starting nursery. During these visits the nursery can work with the parent/guardian to decide on the best induction plan to meet the needs to the individual child.
