Steps to Progress

Explorers (Under 2s)

In our Explorer room for under 2’s, we provide activities that are tailored to the younger children in our setting. In the moment planning is the formation of our day to day set up along with children’s interests. We believe that sensory exploration is a crucial experience for the Explorers along with many other age appropriate resources that will stimulate your child’s mind. Your child is offered an enriched environment offering endless opportunities to develop and establish the early key skills they require.

JetSetters (2 - 5 year olds)

In our Jetsetter room, for our 2 to rising 5 year olds. We have also implemented the “in the moment planning” approach. We incorporate The Early Years Foundation Stage’s (EYFS) 7 areas of learning along with the “Characteristics of Effective Learning”, these both underpin everything our Jetsetters learn through involvement in activities and experiences. This provides you as parents and carers the reassurance that your child is following a legal framework to help them develop crucial life skills, building independence and eventually preparing them in their transition to school.
