Age groups

Baby Room

Our Baby room is a safe, secure and cosy room, with plenty of space for the babies to learn and explore. We can have a maximum of 12 babies in the baby room and the child to staff ratio is 3:1. Our staff are qualified and experienced, therefore they have the necessary knowledge to care and support babies through the early stages of their development. We are firm believers that children this age need continuity of care. When your baby first starts nursery we will work very closely with you to ensure that your baby’s home routine is followed. Our staff offer opportunities for the babies to progress and learn at their own pace, which enables them to grow in confidence.

Toddlers

Our toddlers are aged two to three years old. The child to staff ratio is 5:1 for the toddlers, we can cater for 12 toddlers at one time. The toddlers are encouraged to be as independent as possible, we encourage potty training, positive behaviour and promote children to express themselves through language.

Our toddlers and pre-school are combined and share a routine; however, their age-appropriate needs are met through small group time such as bucket time and registration time. In which case the children receive support and challenge according to their age and additional needs.

Preschool

Our preschool children are aged three to five years old and the child to staff ratio is 8:1. Our preschoolers are based in the main unit; we can cater for 24 preschool children at one time. The aim is to prepare the children for school and for them to develop a love for lifelong learning. By the time the preschool children leave us, they will be happy, confident, motivated, empathetic, independent, and friendly individuals. All of which we hope will help them achieve a smooth transition onto big school.
