Up to 2 years

Staff ratio 1 – 3 children

For the very young children there is an area in the playroom called the baby den. This area includes bouncy chairs, play mats, soft toys, rattles and other age appropriate toys. The children are not always limited to this area so will have the chance to use the rest of the nursery for planned activities such as physical play, cooking and craft.

These children are now becoming more inquisitive and begin to enjoy a wider variety of toys including puzzles, cars, construction and role play. They will have the chance to join in with planned physical, cooking and craft activities throughout the session/day.

3 – 6 year olds

Staff ratio 1 – 8 children

These children have a wide choice of activities including free play, craft, physical, construction and role play. They also have the opportunity to join in with more structured activities in our Pre–school room ie; linking letters with sounds, counting and number recognition, pencil and scissor control, and computer skills.

We also discuss our monthly topic and talk about the letter sound of the week. We encourage the children to bring in items linked to the topic/letter sound as this helps them to develop their understanding.

Only gentle encouragement will be used to get the children to join in with planned/structured activities, should they not wish to join in there is always the chance for free play.

Throughout the day children of all age groups will get the chance to mix together. We feel this is important as all children learn from each other whatever their age or stage of development.
