Constant movement and exploration is how children learn and grow; seeing themselves in relation to their environment while developing coordination of the body and brain. The equipment selected will enable your child to refine their motor skills through a range of actions, such as sliding, bouncing, crawling, and walking!

Babies in this room are also exposed to well-planned activities and sensory resources, as they develop naturally through discovery and play. Activities like sand, water, messy play, and treasure baskets are accessible throughout the day.

As Maria Montessori believed that children need to explore objects made of natural and holistic materials through their interaction with these materials, the children are:

• Encouraging the use of their senses

• Developing Listening and Attention

• Refining their coordination and motor skills

• Developing the ability to make simple choices and express a preference

Children in the Daisy Room are given access to our safe and secure garden, with a range of activities that extend the indoor environment. These children are escorted to the garden at least once a day – come rain come shine.

We understand that diet has a major impact on your child; staff work in partnership with parents to ensure that all dietary requirements are met, and support is given during the weaning process. Together with the staff, you will develop a weaning menu that works for your family.

Our Poppies classroom caters for children aged 18-30 months and benefits from a self-contained classroom and bathroom area.

The classroom boasts three bright and spacious areas that focus on refining the prime areas of development: Communication and Language;Physical Development; and, Personal, Social and Emotional Development.

The children in this classroom are given access to a wide range of resources that reflect the cycle of observation and planning. The children’s own interests and next steps are reflected in both the planned activities and the continuous provision.
