Rooms and Facilities
Lively Lambs Room
The Lively Lambs room has been specially designed to cater for children from 3 months to 2½ years of age and contains a separate milk kitchen, air conditioned sleep room, nappy changing wash room, child toilet and play area.
We aim to make it as easy as possible for parents/carers to bring their babies to the nursery as we understand what busy lives they lead, so we provide all food. Nappies and wipes excluding pull ups.
The nursery's full time cook will provide pureed or mashed food, when required, to support parents/carers when weaning their child. The child's key person will advise the cook of any dietary changes or requirements for individual children.
The staff are happy to assist with potty training when parents/carers feel that their child is ready and child sized toilets and potties are available in the lively lambs room at all times.
The planned activities and toys in this room are age and stage appropriate with individual children’s needs, interest and development in mind which all link to the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.
Energetic Ewes
The Energetic Ewe’s room provides spacious surroundings for learning and a good atmosphere for the developing minds of the 2½ – 3½ year olds. The staff encourages children to explore their own personalities through supervised planned activities and a well planned free play area which link to the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.
We have a vast selection of toys to assist in their learning, a creative area with washing facilities, low level toilets, basins and an accessible toilet with nappy changing facilities. The kitchen area is situated nearby so arranged cooking activities for the children are easily achieved and are much fun for the staff and children.
There is a designated book area within the Energetic Ewes room where the children can sit and choose books to look at. The children have access to a computer within the room to help them learn IT skills.
