Little Pippins Preschool & Wrap around care

The Seedlings Room is for our Older babies and young toddlers. We offer a high quality of care,  as well as a Sleep room.  The rooms have been arranged to create a homely environment, where the babies and toddlers can feel relaxed and secure.  We provides a spacious area for the older children to explore and investigate.  The children have access to the main garden, baby garden , sensory room and soft play each day.

Our Seedlings room has a maximum of 9 children a session with 3 staff members. 

The rooms are well equipped with age appropriate resources, and provide opportunities for the children to explore and investigate. The children have varied sensory opportunities and experiences, both indoors and outdoors, to develop their independent thinking. Treasure baskets and heuristic play (collections of everyday objects with lots of scope for imaginative play and problem solving) are based in the rooms for the child’s development in all areas.  Your child’s journey and progress through the EYFS is recorded in their learning journal which is available online through Blossom.

 

Key Person's make professional judgement assessments of where their children are at in their journey through the EYFS and support children with next steps during their play, planning in the moment .

The children learn through play and all of the prime areas of the EYFS are well supported; the prime areas are the focus for The Blossom and Seedling Room.  A lot of this learning takes place outside, which we promote throughout the year.  

A daily diary is recorded on Blossom and will be shared with parents at the end of each day – this will record your child’s routine. These diaries can be accessed via the Blossom app each day.

Our key person system operates in this room and promotes parent partnership ensuring the best possible outcomes for the children. We always welcome and encourage parental input and greatly value working with parents.

The staff ratio in this room is a minimum of 1:3.
