Each play room follows a routine which benefits the needs of all children. Activities are planned around the children's interests which in turn provide a mix of child-initiated and adult-led activities while following the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stages).
When visiting BebeTots Nursery, please ask the about the routine within the room in which your child may be attending.
Within our baby room we provide a nurturing environment to support your baby in their early development. They have opportunities to learn and explore in structured adult-led and child-initiated activities.
Our baby room is designed to be a stimulating environment, full of colours and textures to help engage and interest your child. In contrast, we have a black and white area which are the first colours babies see and a stimulus. The cooler, softer colours offer a calming environment for relaxing and enjoying stories.
Within our toddler room we provide a stimulating environment to support your child's natural curiosity. The opportunities they have in their learning and to explore through child initiated and an element of adult-led activities.
Our toddler room is designed to allow freedom of choice, a range of activities are provided each day to support their curiosity and their developing vocal skills. Circle time is a wonderful time to share stories and favourite songs.
Preparing your child for their next journey in their learning and development is what our pre-school offers, enabling your child to have the skills they need for starting school.
The pre-school room provides each child an opportunity for independence, choice and friendship through a range of child-initiated and adult-led activities. Allowing children to work in small groups, listening to each other and having acceptance for each other’s ideas and beliefs provides a holistic approach of kindness.
Children's natural curiosity and sense of questioning is encouraged and broadened, giving opportunities for them to test what they know and question their own ideas.
As part of the children's routines, all children have their own dedicated garden for their rooms, which they are able to access throughout the day.
We have been conscious to continue to develop our gardens over the last few years; our baby garden has safer surface throughout, the remaining three gardens all have a safer surface area as well as hard standing and we have a much loved (by the children) mud area where messy play is thoroughly enjoyed!
We have a large raised flower bed for the children to explore and learn about growing plants, herbs and vegetables, we have sandpits, one of which doubles up as a stage, a decked area with slide, pirate ship, play houses, mud kitchens, climbing equipment, and reading areas across the gardens.
We are thrilled that we have large covered areas across all four gardens, proving areas where children can access the outdoors even in the wettest of weathers.
A variety of activities are set up each day to support the learning and development goals for the children.
We are still looking to develop our 'mud' area, the planned ethos of the final part is that of a woodland area, providing natural outdoor play and exploratory and a 'forestry themed' way of learning.
