Activities
We love to be outdoors. Everyday we spend a lot of time outdoors getting muddy and wet and just generally having a fab time. We have a playhouse, sandpit, construction area, water play, trikes, scooters, footballs and stepping stones/stumps.
When we aren't spending time in our garden, we may take visits to the park, woods, beach and library.
We also incorporate counting, recognising numbers, shapes and sizes. Depending on the child's writing skills, we may also practice writing numbers 1 - 10 and will learn to write their name in readiness for school. We always have songs and stories and have regular baking and arts and craft sessions as well as just general play inside with the kitchen, babies, Duplo and farm etc. Children have lots of opportunites to draw, paint, do puzzles and look at books.
We also practice yoga and mindfulness on a regular basis too!
Every other month we will send you a newsletter which will keep you updated on developments and changes. The newsletter will include our theme and/or celebration. The children will learn about the world around them and learn about special days throughout the year. We will also celebrate each child’s birthday.
During the day we will send you photos and videos in Whatsapp so you can see how your child is enjoying their day.
Every term we will ask you to complete an All About Me form which will provide us with valuable information about what your child enjoys and has learnt over the last time and also will give you an opportunity to think about what you would like them to learn next and what we also think their next steps should be.
Children will receive Certificates for their achievements.
We also keep a scrap book for each child, showing photos and achievements during their time here. This will be sent home every few months for you to look at and will be handed over to you when the child leaves the setting.
