Toddlers up to 3 years

There is a staff to child ratio of 1:4 for this age group. Staff in here are highly experienced and take pride in their role in developing the children and work with you in all aspects of development. You will assigned a key person and given a daily activity sheet which talks about the type of personal development we have seen during the day, food, potty training and sleeps.

The sunny room

We call this beautiful spacious room the "sunny room" because it get's the afternoon sun! There are lots of activities for physical, creative and academic development; but also an area for rest and sleep when required, and always time for cuddles.

What's in the room

This room has a beautiful tropical fish tank complete with frogs! We also have a home corner with a comfy sofa and extensive books. There are a number of creative and role play areas where the children can express themselves. We have recently added a soft play area with a catapillar tunnel!

Arts,crafts and cooking

There are always paints, sand, water and junk modelling activities. We have a "topic of the month" where children contribute to wall displays. The children prepare and cook food at least once a week - this can be fresh bread, cakes, biscuits or fruit salad.

Food

Children are provided with breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. Staff always sit with the children and encourage good eating habits. There is a varied menu supported by snacks mid morning and afternoon. We also provide milk, fruit juice and chilled filter water.

Outside play

We have two play areas - one is for bikes, trikes & cars. We also have a miniature basketball set and numerous balls and hoops. The second area is grassy & shaded with an activity centre and slides. There is also a sensory area with over 20 herb plants.

Extended outside activities

We often take the children for walks to the local fields, duck pond, farm and beach. They occasionally go on short trips - for example, we took them to help choose the tropical fish for their room. We also provide free trips such as the Sealife Centre,Marsh Farm and Tropical Wings.
