Tiggers Baby room 3 months - 2 years

 

A baby will change more during their first two years than at any other time. Our babies are given the opportunity to develop physically, socially and emotionally, and during this time they will learn about the world around them mainly through their senses.

 

Our baby room is divided into three sections; an area for our less mobile/crawlers, an area for our walkers and is kept as homely as possible and a general area for use at lunchtime and for table based activities.

 

Pooh Bears Toddler room 2-3 year olds

 

Our toddlers participate in more free play activities which encourage confidence and interaction with peers. They will experience huge intellectual, social, and emotional changes that will help them to explore their new world and make sense of it. During this stage, our toddlers will be able to follow two or three phrase commands, sort objects by shape and colour, imitate the actions of adults and peers, and express a wide range of emotions.

 

This is usually the time when we will work to develop understanding about what is right and wrong through clear boundaries.
