SPOTLIGHT ON OUR BABY ROOM…

Our under 2’s room provides a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment where babies and toddlers can learn, explore, and grow at their own pace.
Our staff focus on building strong and secure relationships with each child and their families, helping them feel safe, secure, and confident throughout their day.

Each day is filled with exciting opportunities for exploration and development through a variety of age-appropriate activities. The children enjoy sensory play, messy play, time for books, music and movement sessions, creative activities, and outdoor exploration. These experiences help to support communication, physical development, social skills, and early curiosity about the world around them.

Our day includes time for play, rest, meals, and quiet moments to ensure every child feels comfortable and settled. Staff carefully plan activities around the children’s interests and developmental stages, encouraging independence and confidence in a fun and engaging way.

The children also enjoy daily trips and outings, including walks in the local community, visits to nearby parks, and outdoor adventures where they can explore nature and develop their understanding of the world around them. We also go to the library and buy different resources from the local shops.

Our Under 2’s Room is a place where children are encouraged to discover, play, and thrive while receiving plenty of care, cuddles, and individual attention throughout the day. ... See MoreSee Less

The children had front row seats and received a small gift from the big man himself at the end.

The children love exploring our local allotments, noting the changes they see during each season.
This week they smelt the herbs and flowers and found some impressive pumpkins, blackberrys and pears. This sparked lots of discussion around harvest and Autumn.
