We provide quality care and learning experiences in our three rooms which cater to the following age groups:
The Nest Room
Our baby room
We offer places for babies from 3 months of age. We appreciate the importance of individual routines at this age and work closely with parents to ensure a personal approach for each child. . At this age, play and learning is very exploratory and discovery based with all five senses involved.
In the nest room you will see:
Treasure baskets - encouraging children/s natural curiosity investigating "real life" items.
Messy play - paint, gloop, water, play dough.
Books and songs.
Exploring the outside world - watching trees sway in the wind, listening to birds singing.
Physical play - tummy time, developing balance and control.
Cuddles and quality one-to-one time with a key person.
The Tree Room
Our toddler room
Our Toddler room caters to children from 18 months of age depending on their development.
Our toddler room has been carefully designed promote curiosity, wonder and excitement. It is a warm, cosy and homely place where each child is valued.
Active learning and the desire to be involved in new experiences is what we foster and encourage amongst our toddler children. We provide children with open ended learning experiences and enhance activities to follow their interests.
The sky room
Our preschool room
Children usually move up to the preschool room before their third birthday.
Our day is flexible yet brings elements of structure and challenge. Practitioners plan activities using current interests taken from observations and conversations with the children - therefore our children gain new knowledge through the planned experiences linked to events, seasons and celebrations.
The OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT
Children learn so much from outdoor play. At Fledglings Thorne children have access to outdoor play daily as this is highly emphasised in the EYFS. Children have the opportunity to go outside no matter the weather.
At Fledglings Thorne we have a large outdoor area to the rear of the nursery. We have developed a bespoke baby and toddler garden within the large outdoor space, with resources and opportunities designed to meet the needs of children from 0-3. It includes plenty of crawling space as well as a sensory walk way and sensory planters. Our 3-5 year olds have their own space with more challenging resources and materials.
