Button Sprouts

For children 18 months upwards – (over 2’s)

There are several areas within the room: a construction area. Here the children can find different types of building blocks, also different types of track. A creative table, where we have painting, playdough, shaving foam or gloop and much more. A cosy area – with mats, cushions and books, where the children can go for some quiet time or to sit and read a book, independently or with a grown up. There is also a home-corner area – where the children can role play games together, make pretend cups of tea, have picnics and look after their babies. Our sand/water table – we alternate water and sand in this table, following the child’s interests to what resources to add to this table daily.
We understand the importance of being an outdoor learner for a child’s development. We ensure that the children have lots of time outside investigating our enclosed garden. We are also lucky to have the great open space of the park, which is attached to the village hall – where we can play lots of running and ball games.
We enjoy our snacks sitting together with our friends.
Activities and experiences are offered around the children’s likes and interests. These will be implemented into the children’s play to reach the children’s individual early learning goals, following the EYFS curriculum.
Each child has a key person there to help with their development and individual needs. The key person is also there for the parent/carers to build relationships with and discuss any concerns.
