Our setting
Our large schoolroom is carefully planned out to be inviting and to ignite curiosity, creativity and collaborative free-flow play. Resources and equipment are easily accessible for children to independently choose, interact with and explore. Play choices change daily and include water, sand, paint, play dough, books, role play, home corner, mark-making, construction, computer, small world play and music.
We are fortunate to have a fantastic outdoor play area which we use all year round. The children move freely between indoors and outdoors.
We believe the outdoor environment is a fantastic resource to enhance children's learning and are extremely lucky to have a beautiful woodland area right on our doorstep. From time to time, we take the children to walk and play in the woods, where they can safely explore and learn about the nature around us.

Cosy carpet
This is our area for group stories, singing or looking at books alone and in small groups. We encourage children to take home books from our library. This area is also where we enjoy the firm favourite 'Carpet time'.
Computer
We work closely with our children to develop their first computer and ICT skills.
Construction
We help our children to experiment with building using different materials and tools.

Creative table
Children can develop their fine motor skills whilst expressing their ideas and talking about what they've created. We have a wide range of activities such as painting, drawing, cutting and model-making.
Themed play
Where we create a fun, interactive space to follow interests or introduce children to something new.
Snack time cafe
A selection of healthy, nutritious snacks and drinks is available every day. The children are encouraged to choose from a picture menu in our cafe.
Any allergies or dietary requirements are always taken in account. |
Sensory Play
Our children can express themselves in different ways with anything from paint, sand and water, to play dough, pebbles and jelly, and have lots of fun in the process.
Role play and dressing up
We give our children the opportunity to talk, interact together and act out their own stories.
Outdoor play
We are committed to making our outdoor environment as rich and diverse as possible, so that our children's learning is extended to their outdoor play all year round. We are very proud of our fantastic grass and playground areas, which are well equipped with ride-on vehicles, a climbing frame, slide, mud kitchen, a digging area and lots of outdoor games. We also have a gardening area where we plant flowers and vegetables and watch them grow. The children love having the opportunity to go outside every day, whatever the weather, and we provide wellies and waterproofs.
