Our Babies and under 2's
Our dedicated baby unit has areas for floor play, messy play, feeding and sleeping.
A team of qualified Early Years Practitioners work specifically with the babies, building relationships with both baby and parent so that both feel happy and confident in our care. The staff take special care to ensure that wherever possible, baby's home routine is followed closely to ensure continuity of care. We consult with parents at all times on matters such as feeding, weaning, potty training and sleep patterns.
Our Two Year Olds
Purple Room have a dedicated team of Early Years Practitioners specializing in working with this age group. Here the atmosphere is a little more structured but the emphasis is still very much on learning whilst having fun. Children become a little more independent, discovering things about themselves such as emotions, resilience and growing in confidence.
The children have the opportunity to explore role-play, messy play, puzzles, games, books, stories and music. We encourage them to think, consider, solve problems, be independent and become confident in their own abilities.
Our Pre-Schoolers
In their final year with us, children experience a balance between structured routines found in a school reception classroom with the freedom of play based learning. Here we are supporting the children to learn the skills they will need when they begin school. As well as basic literacy and numeracy skills, we also support children to develop good communication skills, independence and social interactions so that their transition into school is as smooth as we can possibly make it. Learning Strategies used in Green Room include 'Helicopter Stories', 'Bucket Time' and 'Outdoor Learning Activities'.
