The nursery has a wide selection of toys and games, including building blocks, jigsaws and character toys, that encourage fine motor skills and problem solving. We also have climbing frames for the children who prefer more physical and large scale play that develops spacial awareness and control. When the weather allows there are also supervised trips and outings such as visits to the park for picnics and games.
Children are closely monitored by staff, who will try to set them exciting new challenges to keep them engaged. Little Learners follows the statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, ECERS (Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale) and ITERS (Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale). Through play and activities children will learn about the seasons, holiday festivals, telling the time, days of the week, colours, shapes and of course numeracy and literacy.
