Hatchlings

Our large and newly refurbished baby area is equipped with a wide range of play and sensory equipment. Our room is a warm and nurturing environment where your baby can explore and learn. We have on offer a variety of resources that promote early learning through play, exploration, and discovery. Your baby will have the opportunity to explore new and exciting experiences such as paint, water, sand, gloop, and shaving foam. We employ qualified baby practitioners who are skilled and experienced, able to meet the needs of young babies. We like to continue home routines wherever possible to help our youngest ones feel safe and secure. We aim to offer a home from the home provision and after continuous risk assessments and if deemed safe to do so, we may integrate babies with the toddlers if they wish. This is lovely for the younger and older children it allows our children to mix and perhaps allow siblings, cousins, and older friends to solidify relationships

We organise the day so that the children participate in both child-led and adult-led activities that aim to stretch their minds, language, and ability. These take into consideration the individual needs of each child and their differing energy levels throughout the day.

Toddlers – The setting is divided into different areas, e.g. sensory, messy play, quite area, construction area and much more, the children are able to access the indoor/outdoor environment with bi-fold doors leading to the garden area. We have a ‘cosy’ reading area and a huge selection of age and stage related toys and resources. Our equipment is at a low storage level so that the children can choose freely when playing or selecting activities. All children are encouraged to learn through play and children here are encouraged to share, interact and help their peers in activities such as tidying up, role play and story time. The children will also have access to the outside play area which includes an all, weather porch and a vast amount of play equipment. This adds to the bigger, bolder and different experiences can be had enhancing your child’s physical development. Covering all areas of the EYFS we aim to excite and stimulate your toddlers thirst for knowledge. As they begin to grow they are encouraged to make more choices whilst staff are on hand to assist with play and learning. Activities aim to develop the beginnings of social skills like sharing and playing with friends.

All children have the opportunity for outdoor play which contributes towards their good health, physical development, and knowledge of the world around them. When it’s time for a well-earned nap, the babies have their own cosy sleep area which is peaceful and soothing. Comfy cots, fluffy blankets, and calm music set the atmosphere for a lovely snooze.
