At approximately the age of 2 the children will move up through the nursery in to our Adventurers Room remaining within this room until they are ready to transition into school reception.
Adventurers Room
This room continues to follow the Early Year’s Foundation Stage and children are encouraged to begin looking for and recognising their name and participating in group activities such as stories, singing and directed circle times. Within this room our treasure baskets play an important part in children’s literacy and numeracy development as well as their communication, listening and understanding skills. We use these during circle and story times in order for the children to understand the structure of stories as well as encouraging them to repeat familiar phrases. The children have the opportunity to access the activities they would like to join in with throughout the day and the staff are there to help enhance the children’s learning and skills. Through the use of low level displays around the room we start to introduce, numbers, colours, alphabet and shapes using interactive displays for the children to have fun and get involved with. Each child is allocated a key worker who will share information with the parents on a daily basis through Famly.

Children begin to build confidence and relationships with both peers and carers and are also prepared for their transition into school. At this important stage, staff are ready to help support parents with children’s development, liaising carefully on suited times to implement toilet training and possibly reducing sleep times. As part of this leap into independence, children are encouraged to brush their teeth after mealtimes and begin to manage their own personal hygiene more effectively, washing faces and hands independently.
Physical play is an important part of the children’s development; they love to do music and movement sessions and have lots of fun in the spacious garden. They also enjoy trips out into the local community.

The facilities within the Pre-school Room are all designed to ensure children have access to as much as possible before they take that big step on to school. A computer enables the children to begin learning about technology, and the children will also embark on a new reading scheme which is a fun way for the children to use pictures in a book to tell a story, this can be a bed time story at home and using the communication book we provide you can write comments about your child’s learning which will help the practitioners to enhance your child’s learning by providing a book that is of relevance to them.
