We use songs and rhymes to begin your child’s language stimulation, allowing them to hear a range of sounds and tones and encouraging them to try out new sounds themselves.
We will play games to extend each child’s sensorial experiences and to develop social skills with their peers. We have a range of “Lamaze” toys that are designed to stimulate the senses in their shape and use of colour and pattern.

We aim to offer the children the challenge of new activities daily, they will participate in creative craft work, jigsaw puzzles, construction activities, music & dance as well as having periods for relaxation.
During the day we have use of our own outside play area to offer them further physical stimulation and lots of fresh air. We will take the children out to play in all-weather except extreme cold/wet and therefore we ask that you do not send your child to school if they are not well enough to participate in outdoor play and that you ensure they have appropriate outdoor clothing available for hot or cold days.
