Care, Learning & Play

Children learn when they are in a safe and caring environment where they are stimulated through play.

Babies and young children develop best when they are in a caring relationship with an adult. A baby will learn to walk faster when they have a safe pair of arms to walk towards and learn to talk, when they have an adult listening and responding to them.

We will strive to provide your child(ren) with an environment that will be caring, fun and stimulating. We will implement fully the ideas in the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.

We will provide activities that support the main learning areas under the EYFS:

The prime areas which are;

Physical Development, Personal, Social & Emotional Development and Communication & Language.

And the specific areas which are;

Mathematics, Understanding the World, Literacy and Expressive Arts and Design.

These activities and resources will include but are not limited to:

Dressing up clothes, Book, Small world toys, Construction toys (Lego, Duplo etc), Role play (toy kitchen etc), Water play, Arts and Crafts, Outings, Cooking, Gardening, Outdoor play and equipment, sand, balls etc.

We will regularly observe your child(ren) and make a written record. This will enable us to make plans on how we can help your child(ren) move onto the next stage of their development. These records are available for you to look at anytime.

If there is a particular activity that you would like us to do with your child(ren), please let us know. We are very happy to support activities that you are doing at home or events that have happened. For example if you have been to a wedding we can continue this theme by providing the children with material to use as wedding clothes and help them understand through books and other resources.
