We have lots of open-ended opportunities for children to explore making and creating, using a variety of tools and materials.

We encourage visitors to help the children learn and explore different activities and knowledge of the local community.

Our nativity:  we put on a nativity or singing performance each Christmas which is very well supported by parents, friends and family…

… followed by our Christmas party and a special visit from Father Christmas.

Exploring IT:  Children are leaning to use BeeBot – our programmable bumble bee.  They also have access to computers set up with age-appropriate educational software.

During circle time (adult-lead focused time) we explore and investigate.  Here we are comparing and contrasting the different sounds in our sound boxes.

Children have lots of varied opportunities to mark-make – both indoors and outdoors – including ribbon writing, drawing in the sand, chalking and using a variety of pencils crayons and markers.

We encourage parents to “stay and play” during our friendly open sessions which we hold at set times during the year.  If a parent would like to help out/stay/play on regular basis you would be very welcome. Please ask a member of staff if you’re interested.

Our lovely play, learning and development space.  Doors lead from this room into our outside play area; we have a free-flow system in operation so that children can chose as and when they wish to play outdoors.
