Baby Room
3 months - 18 months
Our specially decorated baby room provides a very
functional attention to not only the physical needs of the babies under our care but also their developmental wellbeing that is cognitive, social and emotional wellbeing. We provide an atmosphere where parents feel happy and comfortable leaving their babies in our care as we always provide a home away from home environment.
Our baby room provides a variety of age appropriate toys and resources which encourages development and the babies can also benefit from our sensory room.
Our free flow structure for the children ensure that they
progress at their own pace which caters to all learning styles thus providing a richer learning environment which aids the development of younger children.
Toddler Room
18 months - 36 months
Our toddler room consist of children between the ages of 18-36 months. At this stage, children become more mobile, are aware of themselves and their surroundings and hence they desire to explore new objects.
Our toddler room thus provides a variety of resources which engages them in active learning, gives a stimulating environment that would encourage them to express themselves while having fun and developing their fine motor skills along the way.
Preschool Room
3 - 5 years
Our pre-school room cater for children from 3 to 5 years. At this stage, children’s learning is more tailored as they are prepared for the move from Day nursery to school. We focus learning on the EYFS seven arears of learning which comprise of both Prime and Specific areas.
Children in the Pre-school room benefit from a wide range of resources and activities are often planned to challenge every child and give them the chance to develop while also having lots of fun.
In our pre-school room, we encourage our children to contribute to the running of the setting and self-care which would boost their confidence as they get involved with tidying up their toys after play, putting their food waste in the food bin after their meals, putting and taking their coats and shoes on and off.
When the time comes for our pre-schoolers to transition, we work closely with the schools creating a strong partnership and communication by providing a full term report which ensures a smooth transition.
Finally, as a way of sending forth our pre-schoolers, parents and close family members are invited to our graduation ceremony.
Sensory Room
Our sensory room provides the children we cater for that sense of calm and comfort as it helps them learn to self-regulate their behaviours which ultimately improves focus. With this in mind, they learn to manage their emotions in a controlled environment without feeling they are being isolated of punished.
The sensory room allows our children the freedom and autonomy to explore the environment themselves in their own time using all of their senses and most importantly, it provides a therapeutic environment with children with special educational need and autism.
Dining Room
We promote healthy eating choices for all our children from a young age as we know how important that aids their development. Our meals are specially sourced and freshly prepared taking into consideration our children who have allergies and intolerance. All of our staff have the required food and hygiene training.
Our children benefit from a wide range of food selection. We provide for breakfast a selection of cereal, yogurts, toast or fruit and our mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks are healthy comprising of mixed fruit and milk.
Our lunch and dinner are substantive varied and balanced meals.
Nap Area
Studies have shown that children who regularly get adequate amount of sleep have improved attention, behaviours, learning, memory and overall mental and physical health.
We understand that for a number of different reasons, our children may not be able to get the required amount of sleep at home hence our nap room provides a cosy atmosphere for them to have a nap or rest when they feel tired which we have found out helps them to be more productive.
The room temperature is constantly monitored and there would
always be a staff to monitor whenever a child is asleep.
