Explorers
This is a lovely room with an ensuite kitchen and spacious play room. This unit is set up to enhance your baby's development through plenty of staff interaction, free play and lots of love and cuddles.
The room has neutral walls providing a calming and relaxing environment alongside lots of natural resources such as treasure baskets, wooden blocks and lots of sensory play. The staff plan the room and activities around each child's developmental stages and their interests to support their development.
We have a lovely enclosed garden which we use to develop physical skills and allows the children to explore the outdoors. We also regularly take the children for walks using our fantastic triple stroller around the lovely village to see the animals such as the ducks, swans and birds on the lakes and to explore the local parks, fields and woodland to support the children's development.
Adventurers
This is our older baby room for children 1-2 years and once the babies are confident on their feet.
This room offers both physical and sensory areas with a wide range of messy activities and a cosy area for stories and singing.
The room is set up for the babies to explore and choose various activities to start promoting choice and independence.
We have a lovely enclosed garden which we use to further develop our gross motor skills and gives the babies the opportunity to explore the outdoors.

Creators
This room is a well set out room providing free flow in and outdoors throughout the day during all weathers. The room holds children aged between 2-3 years.
We plan and develop the interests for each individual child doing weekly observations. The children go out for walks a minimum of once a week exploring our lovely village of Scorton and also visit our local paddock for forest school activities.
Inventors
This unit takes children aged 3 years to 5 years old . It has been set out around the children's interests to promote and extend the child's development.
The Inventors Room incorporates the EYFS 7 areas of learning for all the children with a dedicated area for each aspect. The children are encouraged to learn through playing in and outdoors freely. We visit forest school twice a week.
We also have a programme for children who will be going to school the following academic year that ensures we are supporting the transition. Using a daily routine we find ways to promote independence and offer quieter, more focussed activities each morning.
Each key person plans individual and group activities each week using the children's interests and parents input to extend each child's learning to support them achieve set next steps.
Before and After School/Holiday Club/FEAST
We offer a before and after school club for children aged 4-14 years old. The room provides a relaxing and fun environment for the children to play with a variety of resources such as construction, ICT, painting, and mark making, all to their own choosing.
Open from 7:30am, we offer the children a variety of breakfast cereals and toasts when they come in to give them the best start to the day. The children then have free play before they are taken to school either by foot or our nursery cars. We drop off and collect from the local school. Once collected, the children are given a small snack tea then free play with quieter spaces for homework too.
We provide a Holiday Club during the school holidays from 7:30-18:00, we also provide a number of FEAST spaces during this time, with planned activities every day, morning and afternoon. The activities include outings to the parks, local nature walks, fishing and sports activities such as football, rounders and rugby. The children also enjoy free play in the room as well as planned activities like bird feed making, cookery, baking, pottery painting and much much more!
Soft Play
We have a lovely indoor play room which has a soft play area alongside a large hall space which gives children the opportunity to enhance their physical development encouraging them to climb, crawl and run around in a safe space.
We use this room for group activities too, such as music sessions, listening games and focused activities.
Sensory Room
We are delighted to have a beautiful sensory room in our building for all children to explore and investigate. The room is equipped with soft padding, lights, buttons, sensory textures and bubble tubes which offer a lovely calming and stimulating area for the children to explore.
