The Toddler room

Two children enjoying a meal in the toddler room The toddler room accommodates up to 12 children aged 1 to 2 years and has a range of activities appropriate to their age.

Each toddler is assigned a keyworker when they join the group and given an 'All about me' form for parents to provide information about eating, sleeping, what they enjoy, how they like to be comforted etc.

This room is full of toys appropriate to their age including a home corner with kitchen area, dressing up equipment, trains, cars and garages. All toys stimulate the children's sensory explorations. The children, whilst under close supervision, also join in various activities, such as wet sand, painting, and play dough. Weather permitting the toddlers are taken out to play in the specially designed garden area, or they go for a walk to the local park.

At sleep time, each child has their own sheet and blanket. They are checked every 15 minutes whilst sleeping. Toddlers bring their own nappies, and changes of clothes.
