A Typical Baby Day...
Our babies have so much fun! We know that babies and toddlers have different needs, so we always ensure everything is tailored specifically to your child’s needs.
​We spend lots of time reading stories, playing music and singing songs with our babies. There are lots more planned activities and games on offer. We follow different themes each month and do a wide range of arts and grafts, sports, outdoor games and more.
Toddler Time
As part of our Forest School ethos, outdoor learning is a huge part of our our learning and development and we get the children out every day for a nature walk to Norbury park where we will do some child led activities, running, ball games or other physical activities and visiting the Library. ​
