We appreciate that children toilet train at different ages. We aim to support this process by liaising with you and where possible adopting the same procedures eg rewards, star charts etc. Children are welcome to our setting when still in nappies, all we request is that supplies of nappies, baby wipes, spare clothes etc are provided. 

We are committed to the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. This is the guidance we follow which puts the needs of the child first and the activities and resources reflect the interests of the children. The planning of our activities is through provacation taken from observations of the children at play. For example if your child shows an interest in painting we will ensure that this activity is available for them to enable them to take their learning and development further through adult intervention. We also do In The Moment planning: "In the moment" planning is a very simple idea- observing and interactin with children as they persue their own interests and also assessing and moving the learning on in the moment. We also use Tapestry: which is a secure online Learning Journal to record photos/ observationsand comments, in line with the Early years Foundation stage curriculum, to build up a record of your child's experience during their time with us.
