Explorers
The calming, neutrally painted walls create a relaxing atmosphere, complemented by a variety of natural resources including treasure baskets, wooden blocks, and a range of sensory play activities. The staff carefully plan the room and activities to align with each child’s developmental stages and interests, enhancing their growth.
Our charming enclosed garden is perfect for developing physical skills and allows the children to engage with the outdoors. Additionally, we frequently take the children on walks through the picturesque village using our superb triple stroller to visit the ducks, swans, and birds at the lakes, and to discover the local parks, fields, and woodlands, further supporting the children’s development.
Adventurers
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.
We also take regular walks through the village and to the park where we see various animals and provide children with language surrounding the great outdoors.
Creators
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
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
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 use this room for group activities too, such as music sessions, listening games and focused activities.
