Dragonflies & Bumblebees

Nursery care for 3 – 4 year olds

Our children will move into our Dragonflies and Bumblebee rooms when they reach the age of 3 years. When the children reach these new rooms they are now becoming more confident and independent learners and are eager for new and extended learning opportunities and experiences. We have excellent staff who are fully trained and ensure that the needs of every individual child is met.

The children have the freedom to choose activities of their choice and our planning comes from the children. We encourage the children to be as fully involved and engaged as possible with their learning opportunities. You will notice your child grow in confidence the more time that they spend with us.

We put a very important emphasis on our outdoor learning environments and are constantly reviewing and updating our outdoor area. Our aim is to ensure that children are able to experience all areas of learning both indoors and outdoors.

Our Dragonfly and Bumblebee children also have many opportunities throughout the year to link with St Columb Minor Academy. One of these links being that they visit the school once a week to use the library. This is an invaluable opportunity for the children to prepare themselves for starting school.

We also liase very closely with St Columb Minor Academy to ensure that the children are prepared and excited about starting their new school when they are 4 years old.

Dragonflies & Bumblebees and Nature Steps

Dragonflies and Bumblebees Nature Expeditions offer your child the chance to immerse themselves in the wonders of the natural world, fostering a deeper understanding of their surroundings. During our outdoor adventures, our young explorers embark on trips to local farms, where they are encouraged to engage with the environment. With vast fields brimming with grass, flowers, animals, and insects, there’s endless opportunity for discovery and hands-on learning. Additionally, visits to locations like Porth Beach and nearby parks introduce children to their community and provide firsthand experiences with natural phenomena like the ever-changing Cornish weather.
