The Meadow
The Meadow is our room for children who are three until they start school. In this room we have an Early Years Teacher working closely with all the children, but especially the children who will be attending school the following September.
​
In this room the focus is on advancement of skills already acquired and continuing to support and encourage children to using inquiry and questioning to learn through play. Also, in this room, we begin to focus on the specific areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which include maths, literacy, understanding the world and expressive arts and design.
​
The environment is homely and friendly, with a wide range of age appropriate experiences and activities for the children, to support the holistic development of all the children. We focus on each individual child, offering engaging activities that relate to their interests and level of development.
​
This room is divided from the other groups which allows the children to see and hear the younger children nearby. The children have their own pegs just outside the room, for coats and bags, and drawers inside each labelled with their name and picture for the children to store any belongings or art work that they create at nursery. They also have free access to the bathroom area which has potty’s and toilets as well as nappy changing and hand washing facilities.
The children of all ages play in the shared outdoor area together, allowing the children to play with children from a range of ages. We spend as much time as possible outside as we believe this is important for children's development. We also value the experience this gives the children to spend time with children of different ages.
​
The Meadow has a range of activities on offer including a quiet, calm and cosy reading area, maths and literacy resources, small world pretend play, sand and water, painting and playdough. This room also benefits from free-flow access to the outdoor classroom area, allowing children to decide whether they would like to be inside or out.
​
We ensure an appropriate adult to child ratio making sure that all children receive a high level of care and attention.
​
Each child will be setup on our online system where you will be able to view your child’s daily record, including eating, sleeping and changing times, and any messages or notifications from the practitioners or management team. Also on this system is each child’s learning journal, including observations made by the practitioners of the children's progress.
