We are fortunate to have three separate rooms for age groups 3 to 18 months, 18 to 24 months, and 2 to 3 years.
In each of these rooms we are fostering independence, active play and exploration through core provision (activities available to children throughout their session, self-chosen and easily accessible) such as small world play, sand and water play, construction and books and stories. We will also provide a focused activity in the morning and afternoon planned to build on and extend children's learning which may take place inside or outdoors. 2 to 3 year olds are also learning to tidy up, take responsibility for their environment and toilet train.
