Play
The main emphasis of the nursery is on the variety and opportunities
for play. It is well established that children learn more and
at a greater speed in their pre-school years than at any other
time in their lives and that they do this mostly through play.
Play is essential to every child and vital to human development.
To this end, the nursery offers four different areas which are
available to all children, each one providing different types
of play opportunities. We consider it very important that we
offer a wide range of play activities for children to enjoy
first hand learning experiences and to develop socially, emotionally
and physically. We work closely to the 'Foundation
Stage' curriculum guidance providing a wide range of learning
experiences through play, and have regard for the Birth
to Three Matters framework for the two year old children
who attend the nursery.
