Family Room

The Family Room caters for children from the ages of 3 years up to 5 years in a family like environment

.Once again, the spaces are light and airy and have dedicated messy play, home corner and nappy changing areas.

The advantages of spending some of their day in this room is that children learn a great deal from children of all different ages. The younger children gain from modelling the older ones. The older children gain a sense of responsibility and an assimilation of their own learning as they share their knowledge.

The children also benefit from keeping the same relationships with staff as they grow in this room without having to change spaces. They can deepen their relationships with their key worker for the entirety of their time with us.

From 2 to 3 years the children enjoy separate sessions in which they will enjoy age appropriate activities and fun educational toys. This is a time for your child to develop language skills and lay a foundation of understanding about how written language works and the meaning of print.

The fundamental concepts of counting and understanding, numbers, shape and measurement are also laid down and develop a base for the development of maths. This age group also develops increasing skill in controlling gross and fine motor skills. They become increasingly aware of others needs and begin to develop a sense of empathy.
