QUALITY EDUCATION
Every toddler has a
developmentally appropriate programme, to meet their individual needs. 
We have developed special programmes for our toddlers, like the Music porgramme.
We will maintain an individual portfolio of learning for every child. These portfolios can be accessed by parents and discussed with our staff at any time. We also schedule parent interviews once a year.
We provide free disposable nappies or
'pull ups' for your child to use while they are in our Centre, to help
them with toilet training.
To provide a safe and quality environment for your child we operate with a ratio of 6 children to 1 adult.
Indoor & Outdoor Play
All children spend at least part of the day experiencing indoor activities, ranging from puzzles, building blocks, stories, and playing with toys. We also have times of ‘messy’ play, for example finger-painting, and play dough.
The Toddlers outdoor area has been designed to provide
them with an
age-appropriate environment for exploration, social
development and physical confidence. Traditional
play equipment like moveable boxes, planks, climbing frames, sandpit,
and a water trough are provided.
Outdoor safety surfacing is installed under all climbing and play structures. Shade cover provides protection during the summer heat. Furthermore, we provide sunhats and sunblock for all children during the summer months, and woolly hats during the winter months.
The gymnasium in the Church premises is available for use by us as part of our educational programme and for play - this is especially valuable during the wet winter months.

As part of our programme we also will take the children on outings and trips to places of interest or fun. We endeavour to have at least one exciting trip out of the Centre each term. We and the children love it when parents are able to join us on these trips. |
