Preschool / Under the Sea

Our preschool group is located in the main nursery building and is for children aged 3-5 years. We are open 8-6 on weekdays for about 49 weeks a year.

 

Our nursery routine starts with a 'Wake up, Shake up' after breakfast, followed by 'Island Time' (smaller groups led by the children's key person) to welcome everyone in. During the day we have child-initiated play, adult-led activities, story and song times as well as meal times. Our meals are prepared on the premises, sometimes with help from the preschool children. 

We plan our activities around themes throughout the year, often based on children's interests and experiences, with a 'Book of the Month' and relevant songs to enhance our learning.

(Please note, there is also a term-time-only room, which is open 9-3 each weekday for 38 weeks a year for children aged 2-5 years.)

Toddlers / On the Farm

Our toddlers area is for children aged 24 - 42 months, and is situated in the main nursery building.
It is open 8-6 for about 49 weeks a year. Our toddlers follow a simple routine, which includes child-initiated play and adult led activities, (including small group times, whole class group times and 1:1 adult let activities).

Baby Room / In the Garden

Our baby room is located within the main nursery building and is open for approximately 49 weeks a year. We care for children aged 3 - 24 months before they transition into toddlers and then preschool.

Term Time Only / At the Safari

The Safari room is open during school terms (38 weeks a year) 9am-3pm for children aged 2-5 years. 

Outdoors

We encourage free-flow play, giving children opportunities to learn, develop and have fun outdoors in all weathers.
 
Our children have access to an excellent outdoor area sectioned into a variety of sections. The babies have direct access to a soft floor and grass area. Toddlers and Preschoolers each have access to their own outdoors spaces. These spaces also lead to a larger outdoors space which incorporates a grass area with a hut and sensory items, a bicycle road which goes around an artificial grass hill, a bark area with a mud kitchen, bug hotel, tree, pirate ship and digging area, a sit-in sand-pit, a mark-making area, a climbing frame on soft flooring, and a school playground area with a shed full of resources.

Slip, slop, slap! Slip, slop, slap!

Wear a T-shirt, sunscreen and a hat!

Wear a T-shirt, sunscreen and a hat!

When it's sunny, we must think,

These will stop us turning pink!

Slip, slop, slap! Slip, slop, slap!

Wear a T-shirt, sunscreen and a hat!

Wear a T-shirt, sunscreen and a hat!

When it's sunny we must learn,

These will help us not to burn!

Slip, slop, slap! Slip, slop, slap!

Wear a T-shirt, sunscreen and a hat!

Wear a T-shirt, sunscreen and a hat!

If you do this, you'll know you are,

Like me, a sun safe superstar!
