THE NURSERY ROOM
This is our largest room catering for 2-3year olds, it is an active environment to meet the continuing demands of individual personalities that are beginning to develop. We have separate bathroom facilities with a changing area. We focus on toileting within this room and aim for all children to be successfully out of nappies by the time they move on to our next room.
As in all rooms learning takes place through play based activities. Planned and spontaneous experiences form the basis of our learning. We use the children's ideas and share home experiences to contribute to this, along with the EYFS. The children are offered the opportunity to rest when needed and our focus continues to be on social and emotional skills.
We extend and encourage language, new words and vocabulary and also focus on friendships and key person time.
A continual cycle of fun activities are offered throughout the day, to meet the needs of our lively youngsters!!!
THE PRE SCHOOL ROOM
Our School Room is a lovely bright room, with an individual bathroom. The school room environment reflects and values the contributions made by our children.
We focus greatly on independence and learning new skills in view to moving onto 'BIG' school. In this room we offer many additional experiences, such as – brushing their teeth, accessing the local community for outings and at Christmas we put on a Nativity play.
On a daily basis we encourage independence with a teacher's helper system. By the time children leave Happy Days to enter compulsory education we feel they are equipped to deal with the new and exciting challenges school will offer.
