Home About the Nursery Facilities
Play
Here at Little Learners we feel it is important for our staff and the children to have a varied environment. We have an outdoor play area at the back of the nursery and unlimited use of the church garden opposite, which houses our outdoor play equipment.

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.

Activities
Children attending Little Learners will be able to partake in a wide range of supervised activities. All children require a good balance of work, play and rest in a safe environment, so that is exactly what Little Learners offers. With a structured routine to help children settle in quickly, each child is nevertheless treated as an individual as we know that children learn at different speeds and have varied needs.

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.

Creativity
With a large focus on creativity, the nursery’s fully stocked arts and craft areas enables the children to pursue painting, drawing, collage, colouring and sponge painting. Every year the children’s artwork gets entered into the Guernsey Eisteddfod. Group activities are also encouraged daily as the children will be brought together for singing and playing instruments, storytelling and board games.

Keeping you updated
We like to keep you in the know. With class DoJo an app linking us straight to your phone, we can not only send you photos throughout the day of your child’s activities but we can also keep you informed of up and coming events, such as our Carol Service and Santa’s visit.
Messy play
Children need to play, learn and grow together, and what better way for that to happen than with messy fun. This could include free painting, gloop and experimenting with textures. This is all part of growing up.
