Butterflies 2-3 Years

Butterflies, our pre-school group

Butterflies is the name of the 2-3 year old age group and the staff to child ratio will change to 1:4. Children must be able to negotiate the stairs independently to move upstairs. 
There are three rooms upstairs: Seahorse Room offers  resources such as small world, train tracks and  dressing up role play. The Butterfly Room has a giant smart board for  Education City - individualised educational computer programmes in Maths. English and Science. 
They also have use of the messy room and messy garden at the side of the nursery., so they can access the garden independently. Children are free to explore all the resources and different environments and are very much involved in planning their group projects. They receive regular quality time with teachers to ‘get them ready for school’, from looking after their personal independence: toileting, dressing and seeking help. They also receive one-to-one sessions with their teacher to learn phonics, mathematics and conduct elementary science experiments.

Pictured below are some of the children from our pre-school group enjoying some educational and fun activities.
