OUR NURSERY

Little Angels is a nurturing and safe environment for children from 6mnths – 5yrs to grow, explore and flourish in the world. We have two separate buildings; the Baby Room which accommodates children 6mnths-2yrs and the Pre-school Room which accommodates children 2yrs – 5yrs. 


We are also very lucky to have a wonderful outdoor ‘garden’ space for the children which includes a sand/water play area, colourful murals and also plenty of ‘loose parts resources’ to encourage imaginative play (e.g. making a train with crates, tyres and tubes). 


In addition to the outdoor space, the children also benefit from a conservatory room which can be used for all-year-round and all-weather play. We have recently turned this space into a ‘sensory room’ which all the children highly enjoy. The pre-school children also use it to do yoga classes and we hold parties there for them on special occasions (e.g. Halloween, Christmas etc)

The Baby Room

Our Baby Room accommodates up to 10 babies aged 6mnths-2years.  We always ensure we meet the legal staff:children ratio but thanks to high number of staff we frequently have a higher ratio of staff to children. 

Our Baby Room has a separate cot/sleep room and another separate nappy-changing room. The kitchen is also adjoining where our lovely cook, Hetty, prepares fresh meals daily.  

The room is light and airy and fully baby-proofed. We change the display boards according to the seasons or current events/special occasions. There is a wide variety of toys which are specific to the ages of the children in the Baby Room. We are led by the children in terms of activity planning and we take our cue from what they show interests in. This means that each child’s needs are met on an individual basis.

The Pre-school

 Our Pre-school Room accommodates up to 24 children aged 2yrs-5yrs.  As with the baby room, we always ensure that we meet the legal requirements for staff:children but we are lucky enough to have a high number of staff so frequently the staff:children ratio is higher.
 
 Our Pre-school Room is split into 2 main playrooms and also separate access to the conservatory/’garden’ room. This allows us to use one of the areas as a quiet ‘rest’ room for the children who have an afternoon nap. There is also a bathroom area adjoining with child-sized toilets and sinks.

Both playrooms are comfortable and fully child-proofed. As with the Baby Room, we change the display boards according to the seasons or current topic. The play resources are available at all times to encourage a self-selection approach so the children can ‘learn through play’ and cover all seven areas of the Early Years Foundation Stages (EYFS).
