At the age of two children are now very inquisitive and have a thirst for knowledge and learning, in the nursery we encourage this through the use of open ended play opportunities.

Children are now showing an interest in letters and numbers so we provide a well-stocked mark making and math s area along with an ICT area where toddlers have access to a computer.
