The Setting…
Indoor Space
Our jungle room is where the children spend the majority of their indoor play time.
The area is split into different “areas of learning” e.g. a construction area, creative area and role play area etc. Many of these areas have free-choice resources so children can choose what they play with, which encourages confidence and independence.
Our tiger room is a smaller area where children may take part in a variety of activities from listening to a story to climbing on our physical apparatus!
Outside Space
Outside is a generously sized, enclosed play area with artificial grass and several outdoor shelters, which enable us to go outdoors to play in all weathers. We have a wide range of toys in the area everyday with children also being able to self select resources from small sheds around the play space. We have a pebble area for construction and vehicles as well as a large sand pit area with a kitchen. We have a mini garden where the children plant seeds, bulbs and crops that they later harvest and eat for snack.
Staff members enhance children’s learning by encouraging critical thinking and questioning the children whilst they play.
We have great links to the community and regularly go for walks into the local area.
