18 Months to 3 Years Zone
After leaving the 0 to 18 month old zone in the main house, the children progress to the ground floor of our custom designed Coach House. Within this age range, we have four classes aged between 18 months and three years.A wide and varied selection of activities are available to enhance the individual needs of each child and to stimulate and further their individual abilities, both within the classroom situation and also the extensive garden and grounds. This age group also benefits from the weekly Tots Tune Times music session.
Outdoor play is an important part of the daily routine with direct access to the garden from one of the class rooms. Here the children can benefit from many outdoor zones including gardens amounting to one acre, a mini farm with our goats and our Penny Well Farm pigs.
We feel that communication and inter-action between parents and staff is very important.
An individual development file is compiled for each child. This consists of a detailed development plan, including observations, photographs and art work.
A Daily Diary is also completed for all the children. This aids parents with the knowledge of their child's routine for the day whilst they have been at nursery and answers the majority of the most frequently asked questions.
We are pleased to discuss your child's progress with you at any time, and welcome you into the class rooms.Open Evenings for the 0 to 3 year olds are also held in Spring and Autumn to enable parents to discuss their child's development with the staff in their class.
