Meet our pre-school 2 children, here our eldest children are busy getting “School ready” & have their 4th Birthday.
Enjoying all the fantastic opportunities the children downstairs have, Sand, Water, Book, Construction, Painting, Roleplay and Investigation areas, these children also enjoy numbers and patterns, colours & shapes. We introduce the children to letters & sounds sessions, with an emphasis on “Jolly Phonics”.
The Sunflowers have their own delightful rooftop garden, which also has an undercover area for all-weather play.
These children also get to enjoy all the fabulous extra-curriculum opportunities as the Bluebells but also get to go swimming once a week too (New for September 2020).
We love being outdoors in the Sunflower Room and so use the local park all the time. “Muddyboots” is a part of our curriculum that allows us to explore nature and the world around us, especially as we have the park right on our doorstep!!
Staff loosely follow the principles of “Forest Schools” and with our wellies, waterproofs and water bottles off we go for a fun-filled adventure every time!!
All our children work towards the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The children under 3 mainly work on the PRIME AREAS of the curriculum – *Personal, Social & Emotional Development. *Communication & Language & *Physical Development.
Once the children become really secure in these areas, our skilled practitioners then introduce the SPECIFIC AREAS – *Literacy, *Mathematics *Understanding the World & *Creative Development.
