Baby Area (3 months-18 months)
The baby area is seperate from the other two rooms and is a place where
babies are provided with stimulating toys e.g, mobiles, soft books, building
blocks, dolls and an activity table. All of which are essential for the
childs first stage development.
Toddler Area (18 months-approx 3 years old)
It is our aim to provide a warm, loving and secure environment in this
area which will help each individual child to feel happy and at home.
This is extremely important to the childs all round development. Activities
such as painting, waterplay, building blocks, jigsaws and dolls are provided
to enhance the physical, interlectual and social development of the children.
Pre-School Area (3 years-5 years old)
The young children are involved in all types of creative activities e.g
painting, glueing, cutting out, chalk and crayon drawing and model making.
This enables them to identify and recognise colours and shapes. There
is also a home corner equipped with small household toys encouraging roleplay,
along with jigsaws, sticklebricks, dolls and cots. There is a road track,
cars, a garage and a full bookcase. The ultimate objective is to prepare
the children, socially and mentally, for their school days. After a while
the children move on to more detailed colouring, shape and number cards,
simple work sheets and books which they can take home to show their parents.
There is also a television set, video and DVD facilities in the Pre School
room.
Outdoor Play Area
The outdoor play area consists of a brand new soft surface area, a turfed
area and a raised decking area for the children to play on. The Nursery
provides toys including bikes, a climbing frame and a see-saw. There are
also organised ball games and running and jumping activities.
