Buttercup and Blossom rooms cater for children aged between 12 and 24 months. Both of these rooms have access to their own gardens.

The Early Years Foundation Stage

 The staff plan activities and opportunities for your children that link into the EYFS framework. Children are observed ‘holistically’ (as a whole) so that all areas of their development are met. Each Key Person observes their own Key Children and plans activities and opportunities specifically for their individual needs and interests. Your child’s ‘Learning Journey’ is recorded in their own individual scrap book and we actively encourage parents to participate in this process. Open ended resources are provided both inside and outdoors so that children can play imaginatively. (wooden planks, crates, drain pipes, guttering etc)

Minimum Attendance

Children under the age of 2 years 9 months must attend for a minimum of one full day. Half days are not available. Children over 2 years 9 months must attend for a minimum of two half days. We do not offer half days to younger children as the children in these rooms sleep after lunch and the departure and arrival of children after lunch can effect their routines.
