The Little Wendy House Day Nursery

Welcome to Tiny Toddlers and Toddler room

Tiny Toddlers are between 16 months and 24 months and work on a 3-to-1 ratio, while our Toddlers are between the age of 24 months and 32 months, working on a 4-to-1 ratio.

in this room, we understand the fast pace that children change and develop, so although we implement learning through the seven area of learning of the EYFS framework, we tend to focus on the main 3 prime areas, communication, physical development and personal social and emotional development.

we make sure we incorporate planning based on these areas through our daily routines, such as using Makaton during group time, encouraging children to communicate and build up strong and positive relationships, and encouraging the children to gain a sense of self independence. we focus on basic skills such as potty training and self serving milk/water at snack time and making their own choices.

Tiny Toddlers and Toddlers are both provided with garden schedules to allow them enough time and space for energetic play. we make time for the children to spend time with their key worker either individually or as a group. we also actively encourage parents to share any concerns, proud moments from home and achievements with us. our main overall goal is to keep the children happy and safe, all while developing more and more everyday.

Welcome to Tweenie room where we cater for children 32 months to 38 months. In this room we focus on transition into pre-school, through enhancing basic skills like potty training, pencil control, numbers and introduction to phonics. We work in a 6:1 ratio with three members of staff, children are assigned a keyworker who they firm secure binds with and extend their development and learning. We ensure that each child's keyworker has great communication and partnership with families and parents.
One of our main goals in Tweenie room is to teach children a sense of independence through making decisions, risk taking and so on. We also make sure we promote children's wellbeing through healthy eating, regular exercise and garden schedules. We aim to create a positive, friendly atmosphere and environment where children are free to explore, make great friendships and express themselves. We enjoy encouraging children to be imaginative, creative and most importantly feel safe.
As with all the other rooms at The Little Wendy House, we follow the eyfs to plan and implement learning through play and activities. We follow the children's interests and enjoy allowing the children to express their own likes and dislikes.
Overall, Tweenie room is a fun, vibrant space for your children to explore being themselves and starting to learn about their emotions and relationships with their peers. It's a room where children are happy to come in and start their day with a high smile on their faces ready to learn and play and where staff enjoy coming In every day to teach and inspire the children.
