Dolphins

Our Toddler room is for children aged 2-3 years and our experienced team of staff ensure that every child is provided with high quality learning experiences to support development and educational progression.

The equipment in the toddler room is of an excellent standard, the layout of the room has been designed to support exploration where resources can be easily accessed which encourages the child to be an independent learner.

There is a strong emphasis on outdoor play to encourage children to learn about the wider world, we have a large garden to the rear of the building encouraging different physical activities this also includes a den making area, muddy kitchen and a sheltered area along side the building.

Each child will be assigned a key person who is responsible for aiding their developmental progress, this will be shared with you via their own learning journal throughout their time at First steps. This is created using our Famly app, parents will be able to access this so they can see what their child has been doing and also add things that they have been doing whilst at home. The learning journal will be full of fun activities that your child has done at the nursery and you can also add achievements done at home or on various adventures while out and about exploring.

Planning and Observation

Parents are invited to tell staff about adventures or exciting things they have done for example been on holiday or been for a walk in the woods. This will encourage language development and social skills as the child explains what they have been doing.

Please read our page on the early years foundation stage for more information about planning and observation at First Steps.
