Toddler Nursery: developing a sense of Self

Our Toddler Nursery is located in two beautiful rooms on the First Floor of the Nursery.

We want our Toddlers to work through their big emotions, building language opportunities to help them formulate and express their thoughts, whilst building their independence, self-care and self-regulation skills, so that they move on to Kindergarten equipped with self-confidence – ready to learn!

These children enjoy direct access to the Upper Garden, with the addition of a large, covered ‘outdoor classroom’ that can be used in all weathers, enabling them to explore an extensive range of exciting activities and having heaps of fun!

The Main Base Room is a large, light space with plenty of exciting resources to cover all areas of the curriculum, along with an Interactive Whiteboard which the children use on a regular basis.

Small groups can break away into their Quiet Room, a more peaceful room which includes comfy cushions and blankets to snuggle up with.

MOVING TO THE TODDLER NURSERY: What is new?

TOILET TRAINING: We will work closely with you as soon as your child shows any interest in toilet training and like to liaise regularly to keep in touch with how things are progressing.

REST AND SLEEP:  All children enjoy a period of Quiet Time after lunch – even those who do not sleep, for we are aware that Nursery is an extremely stimulating place.  Children relax in the Quiet Room, where they choose a pillow and snuggle up.  When they are ready to wake, children are offered a drink of water and time to re-engage, before heading outside for some fresh air.

SPECIAL EVENTS: Toddler Children enjoy Christmas and Spring parties at Hampton Bishop Village Hall, and showcase their physical development through Sports Day in the Summer term.
