At this age the children are getting more independent and we encourage self-motivation as a basis for learning within a stimulating environment, developing and building on the children's curiosity, interest and fascination with the world around them. Our daily activities are planned in conjunction with Sure Start: Birth to Three Matters.

We provide opportunities for learning within a context which is meaningful to the child. We aim to enable children to do things for themselves, have access to the resources they need to develop confidence, a positive self-image, independence and responsibility within a supportive and encouraging environment. We build on the values that the child has learned at home and involve parents in discussing, evaluating and contributing to the curriculum.

Our popular activities include Music and Movement. This session is very popular with the children and includes singing and dancing along to their favourite songs, accompanied by the piano.

During the summer we have a Garden party for our under 3s and parents and at Christmas parents are invited to our Christmas party and concert.
