Our Toddler Room caters for children aged 2-3 years old.
In the Toddler Room we focus on promoting independence and continuing to support each child to form friendships and improve their social skills.
Play time is still a huge part of their day, however we start to introduce small focused group time activities (Scaffolding learning) such as story time, music and movement, flashcards etc. These group times are an adult led teaching and learning opportunity, that the children really enjoy.
In the Toddler Room your child will receive their '2 Year Check' appointment, this is completed by your child's Health Visitor. Your child's keyworker will complete and provide a report and information ready for your child's '2 Year Check.'
Staff in the Toddler Room work very closely with parents providing tips and advice around communication, language, social skills, healthy eating, toilet training and promoting positive behaviour.
We provide suitable activities including role play, action songs, story time, sand, water and messy play and expressive art and design and much more. All of our activities are designed to encourage children to express their individual personalities.
We follow 'In the moment planning' and 'scaffolding learning' within the Toddler Room. 'In the moment planning' enables us to follow the children's interest, extend and add different learning opportunities to their play. 'Scaffolding learning' enables us to work closely with the children with adult led activities to ensure that we are reaching the child's individual next steps.
