The Paddock
​
This room is divided from the The Meadow (preschool room) which allows the children to see and hear the older children. It has a range of activities and areas on offer including a quiet, calm and cosy reading area, a climbing wall and slide, small world pretend play, sand and water, painting and playdough.
​
The Paddock has a dedicated potty area allowing children to access the potties when needed. This area has books and other resources to encourage potty training skills. There are also toilets and nappy changing facilities available in the bathroom 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.
​
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.
​
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.

The Paddock is our room children from their second to their third birthday.
​
Our environment provides a range of developmental opportunities for the two year olds to explore their environment and investigate using their natural curiosities.
​
In the Paddock, we still have a strong emphasis on developing communication and social and emotional skills, which are two of the three prime areas listed in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). We also provide lots of opportunities for physical development, which is the third EYFS prime area, including a range of fine and gross motor activities to increase children strength in their bodies and hands.
​
We ensure an adult to child ratio of 1:4 making sure that all children receive a high level of care and attention.
​
The Paddock has a wide variety of resources that are suitable for this age range. These resources are available for the children to access freely to help ensure your child has everything necessary to develop in all areas through a wide range of stimulating experiences and activities, tailored to individual learning styles and stage of development.
