Pre School Lounge

 

Pre School Lounge

Our Pre School Lounge (Wise Willows) are provided with learning opportunities, their progress will be tracked termly using the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Daily activities are provided following the child’s individual interest as we believe spontaneity is required to maintain optimum levels of ‘well-being and involvement’. 

The best preperation we can give them in their early years is to promote positive dispositions by providing living experiences of making choices, innovating, taking responsibility, facing challenges, thinking flexibly and critically, and learning how to learn so that they will be able to respond to their unfolding future. supporting children in the Characteristics of Effective Learning. 

Wise Willows

Our pre school room is full of exciting natural and traditional resources to explore and enhance the children’s imagination. From role play, making our own potions to hunting through fields and woods for dinosaur bones (sticks and stones). Children are learning how to be kind and gentle while caring for their pet Guinea pig (Sheep).

Our golden rules are used as positive renforcement  encouraging our children to use their ‘kind hand’ , ‘indoor voices’ & ‘Kind words’ to name a few       .

 

The “risk rangers” have the responsibility of looking for risks both out in the local environment and in the garden, learning how to keep ourselves safe. Staff ratio is 1 adult to 8 children . We provide lots of opportunities to create through music and different media, sharing our ideas and exporing different people and communities. and our friends.

We use lots of malleable resources to strengthen those hand muscles and share a variaty of books about the world we live in and diversity to ensure that every child feels confident and has a good sense of belonging.

Preparing for school

A lovely fresh and bright new nursery set on the edge of the Leicestershire countryside.The children are stimulated and educated through play and the outdoors whatever the weather. It has a lovely "home from home" feel, with friendly staff who treasure your little one as much as you do.

I wasnt sure how my "clingy" 1 year old would adapt to nursery but now she waves us off and cant wait to go! Everyone is so understanding of all the children and have really bought my girl out of her shell. She loves mixing with other children now, Although she doesn't need to be in nursery i am so glad i decided to let her as she seems to be learning a lot more and becoming very talkative!
