About Pips

Pip’s room is bright and spacious. It is filled with educational toys and resources tosuit to this stage of child development. We focus on speech and language and love to sing songs, role play and tell stories, everyday.

Learning through play

Children love to take part in a wide range of games and activities to help grow their independence and develop their confidence, intellect and social skills. These include arts and crafts, books, games, physical play and much more.We also introduce the children to numbers, colours, messy play, physical play and music. The 6 keys areas of learning are covered daily.

Sleep time

If your child still needs a nap during the day, then sleep time can be part of their daily routine. If they have passed this stage, then they can take part in some quiet activities, while their friends sleep.

Snack times

We enjoy a morning snack at 9.30am, lunch at 11.30am and an afternoon snack at 3pm during which we encourage children to feed themselves to promote independence

Toilet training

We will work in partnership with you and your child, when the time is right for them to start toilet training. We have a toilet training policy in place that we follow and we have small, infant –sized toilets to ensure all of the children feel comfortable, during this phase.

Keeping you informed during the day

Parents can keep up to date with how your child is getting on at anytime by logging onto our online ‘My Nursery Pal’ system. There you can see how well they have slept, what they have eaten, their toilet visits and their mood, as well as any other information that we think you will want to know about, You can log on at anytime throughout the day, to check how your little one is getting on.
