Butterflies 2 - 3 years
Our Butterflies room is a fun filled and energertic room, full of stimulating activities planned around the children's interests. In our Butterflies room we follow a simple daily routine to meet all of the children's individual needs, whilst beginning to offer the children structure with registration and story time.
We have a wide range of age appropriate toys, equipment and activities. The practitioners in our Butterflies room are energetic and approachable. Each child has a key worker. A key worker is responsible for ensuring your child's time with us is enjoyable and that your child is developing and learning.
Each child has a daily diary giving important information which is added to on a daily basis.
We follow the early year's foundation stage and each child has a learning journey which is a wonderful development record of your child.
