On joining our pre-school your child enters a journey which prepares them for primary school, we now are promoting total independence & our children are now developing their maths & literacy skills at a remarkable pace, they also learn more about expressive arts and media through our linked programmes of activities such as singing and drama with Pyjama Drama.
Our Toddler Room

Our Toddler room is registered for 15 children and caters for toddlers aged 2-3, the room is set in the main building and the children have free-flow access to an outdoor verandah and to the back garden.

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.

Staff in the room also provide daily activities such as painting, going out on walks to see the horses and sheep on the college facility, as well as playing in our fantastic outdoor area.
