  • Schedule

    This will encourage children to develop independence, build confidence, develop self-esteem, develop control and coordination and having a reassuring relationship with a Key Person.

  • Child Initiated Play

    Children will show willingness to tackle problems and enjoy self-chosen challenges through play. They will take initiatives and manage developmentally appropriate tasks.

    Activity Time:

    These are activities planned by key workers based around areas of interests of the children to encourage development in specific areas. Children will use a range of materials, resources, people, objects and ideas that are accessible for them. They will develop skills in Prime and Specific Areas of Learning and Development and explore new experiences and ideas.

    Circle Time, Self & Group Registration

    This helps children develop Communication and Language as well as their Personal Social and Emotional Development. It gives them opportunities to show increasing confidence in conversation that interests them and listening to others in the group. Children will be encouraged to recognise their own name or photo, show a range of feelings, talk about the environment, and their own observations as well as aspects of their home life.

    Group Story/Song Time

    Children will develop confidence, establish relationships with other children and adults, listen attentively and respond to stories and songs. This will also help children to use their imagination to make up stories, use props and explore sounds of words as well as become familiar with number songs.

    Free Flow Play

    Children will gain independence and control over their learning and interests both in adult led and child-initiated play. Children will use a range of materials, resources, people, objects and ideas that are accessible for them. They will develop skills in Prime and Specific Areas of Learning and Development and explore new experiences and ideas.

    Outdoor Play

    Children will be given the opportunity to play in the natural environment which they will have the freedom to explore, use their senses, learn and be physically active. Being outdoors has a positive impact on children’s sense of well-being and helps all aspects of children’s development. The children go out to play every day and staff make sure that the children are appropriately dressed so they can enjoy themselves whatever the weather. Outdoor play is seen as an integral part of the early years provision. We aim for both indoor and outdoor play to provide a stimulating environment for children’s learning in all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

    • Lunch Time 12.00pm

      Children will learn awareness of their own needs regarding eating and hygiene, they will learn social skills by enjoying being with and talking to other children and their key person. Children will also learn to be independent by washing their hands before and after and self-serving their own dinner in Toddler and Pre-School Rooms. This will support them to learn problem solving skills.

    • Rest/Quite Time

      This will help the children to understand their own needs with regards to resting and sleeping.

    • 2:30pm Tea Time

      Children will learn about their health and bodily awareness with regards to eating and hygiene. They will develop a range of healthy practices by learning about healthy foods and drinks.

    • Tidy up Time

      This will help children have an awareness of boundaries and expectations that are set together and how they will contribute to a safe indoor and outdoor environment. Children will develop listening and negotiating skills.

    • Home time

      Hello to parents and carers and bye to key persons. NO PHONE POLICY. Please ensure you are not on the phone when you pick up your child, so that firstly your child is able to receive a warm hello and communicate about their day and to allow key workers to communicate with you any key information or wow moments of your child’s day.

      By having parents as our partners, we will be developing a positive relationship by reflecting on your child’s learning/development and daily experience. Throughout the day we will also encourage the children to become independent with their toilet routines, having drinks and snacks. This will develop skills in the Prime Areas of learning as they will manage their own personal hygiene, learn about healthy practices and eating needs as well as interact socially with others.

    The EYFS in our Setting

    The Early years foundation stage (EYFS) is a framework that we follow to support your child between birth and the age 5. We ensure that we keep your child safe and promote their welfare. We use the 7 areas of development in our planning and ensure we are meeting the children’s needs so that they can play and learn happily in ways which will help them develop skills and knowledge across the Prime and Specific areas of learning in the EYFS. However, at the fore front of all our planning are your child’s interests.

    Two year old Progress Check

    During the age of 2 your child will have a progress check which is a requirement of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) 2012. Every child we look after must have one during their time at nursery. Your child’s key worker will be completing the check and will complete this when they best know your child.
