Pre-school Room - Age 2-4 years
The Pre-school Room is bright and vibrant and provides a busy, friendly environment in which children have the opportunity to form friendships and build on their knowledge and understanding.
We provide activities that will develop social and communication skills. The activities may include; small and large group circle times which require sharing and turn taking, card games or simple board games.
Our aim is to ensure the children are ‘school ready’ for their transition to Reception and to provide them with the skills and independence they need to enjoy and make the most of their time there. Through observations and assessments of emerging skills we can focus on key areas of learning and support further development.
Visits to the local library will be part of the children’s literacy development, books may be borrowed relevant to the current theme of learning.
We aim to enhance the mathematical development of the children, providing activities which look at shape, space, measurements, numbers, counting, prediction and simple addition / subtraction. This may involve counting the number of children attending the session as part of circle time, using sand and water toys to learn about capacity or singing songs that involve counting and number.

We prepare children to become life-long learners and provide solid foundations for each individual to reach their full learning potential.
Mealtimes are a social occasion and are used as a learning tool, we focus on healthy eating practices and hygiene routines that keep us all safe, while encouraging the children to be independent with serving their own food and drinks.
They will have the opportunity to butter their own toast at breakfast time and self-serve at lunch and tea times, age appropriate cutlery will be provided and access to drinking water will be available throughout the day.
