We cater for children 0-5 years. We follow the EYFS curriculum which is a mix of child initiated and adult led activities. We provide a wide variety of activities to cater for each child’s individual needs. We place a large emphasis on outdoor play and the children can access all areas of the curriculum both outside and in. Examples of activities are all kinds of creative and messy play, water, sand gardening, cooking.

We provide activities that encourage the children to problem solve and make decisions. We encourage mark making and early writing skills. The children have access to a range of IT materials. For the younger children we provide treasure baskets and heuristic play. We use a wide range of natural resources such as sticks, logs pine cones etc and provide resources for open ended activities so that the children can use their imagination.
