Some activities may be planned, but we also allow children the freedom of spontaneity and investigation through unplanned ones. The nursery operates a free flow system, where children have the option to move between rooms, enabling them to develop and explore their interests and utilise the nursery's vast resources. Staff also find that this freedom encourages confidence in our children.

 

Each room is designed for a specific purpose, for example:

 

Creativity Room:       Sand and water play- art and craft activities- construction area

Role Play Room:       Home corner- dressing up- ICT activities- writing area

Exploration Room:   Maths area- reading corner- jigsaws- games- small world

 

We pay particular attention to the interests of our children, and adapt or add to our resources accordingly.

We have a wide range of ICT equipment, including ipads in most rooms, an interactive Genie screen, and a number of laptops and desktop computers. Two of our current staff team are qualified dance instructors, and our Pre-School group benefit from weekly dance sessions. In addition, a staff member who is fluent in French delivers a weekly French class to the children who wish to take part.
