Our Groups

Toddler Group

Children between the ages 2-3 belong to our Toddler Group. When children begin this stage of their nursery life we are able to introduce more educational-based activities, with the emphasis still being very much about having fun.

By this stage, your child’s learning journey is starting to become very comprehensive, with various observations being carried out to ensure your child’s development continues apace.

We want to give your child the very best possible start to their education so detailed planning goes into ensuring that the learning environment meets the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Pre-School

Children between the ages 3-4 complete their journey in our Pre-School group.

This large, first floor room is set out to mimic a classroom, so the children are prepared for the transition to ‘big school’.

Our qualified Early Years Foundation Stage Practitioners have an important role to play in ensuring your child follows a carefully planned curriculum which will allow them to further develop their skills in the key areas of learning and development. These are:

Prime areas

Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Communication and Language
Physical Development

Specific areas

Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design

Ongoing formative assessment is at the heart of early years best practice, and our staff observe children as they interact in their play and everyday activities. By analysing these observations, it can help us to plan new experiences and opportunities for the children.
