Little Pippins Preschool & Wrap around care

​

The Pippins Room is for funded or non funded children aged  2-3 year old children.

Our room main aim will be on the importance of building relationships with their key person and peers. The EYFS is our curriculum that we follow, however we will be focusing on the three prime areas, personal social and emotional skills, communication and language and physical development throughout in the moment planning. The room is brightly decorated and has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Pippins room is equipped with a wide range of toys which are both age and development appropriate for the children and their individual needs.

Children will spend the sessions within a free flow enabling environment between the indoors and outdoors, mixing with the preschool children and staff to help with transition later on their journey through Little Pippins.  The Pippins room plans adult led circle times which are done at the beginning of tgr session.  We will be promoting children independence, social skills and ensure they have the opportunity to rest and sleep in  our comfort corner.

Our routine is flexible to meet the individual needs of all children experiencing activities indoors and outdoors. The routine encourages children to socialise with others and experience small group as well as investigating activities alone and support and interactions from staff.

All children have a ‘ blossom learning journey detailing this with lots of lovely photographs showing your child enjoying their time at Little Pippins which we share with you regularly and you contribute to as parents , with wow moments at home and recognising children progress.
