I have a large secure garden for the children to play in. Weather permitting the children will have access to the garden and outdoor toys on a daily basis.
A child’s day will include a structured activity, crafts, cutting and sticking, painting, corn silk, dough, cooking, story time, singing and music. Time is also set aside for physical play and free play, with a range of toys to stimulate the imagination, challenge the child intellectually and encourage independence in learning.
Children have access to all the toys and equipment themselves. They are encouraged to select for themselves and put away when finished or wanting to move onto something new.
We also sometimes like to visit local places of interest.
One thing the children really do like is my lovely black labrador dog Alfie. He is very friendly. Alfie also has his own enclosed garden to play in and likes it when the children pat him.
I have a comprehensive range of toys and equipment to suit all needs and ages and stage of development to include construction toys, Lego, puzzles, craft materials, art, drawing, home corner / role play toys, farm, garage, dolls, games, dressing up, educational activities, musical instruments and worksheets for the older child.
I also have treasure baskets designed for the non-crawling baby, play gym and shape sorter, pop up toys and many others.
We also like to bake in the kitchen when when we can.
