Now that your child is mobile, the Tots room offers a friendly and welcoming environment. This room is well equipped with age appropriate toys and also all children’s amenities to hand. The tots also start to move around the nursery into the other rooms. Please see our rolling rota for more details.
We offer ‘settling in’ sessions whereby you attend the nursery with your child for half an hour period to see how your child fits in and to meet the member of staff from the room who will be responsible.
A daily sheet is provided for each child every day recording:
Amounts of food and drink taken
Nappy Changes/Checks
Sleeping times
Activities
Bottles (If required)
And who has been looking after your child
So you are aware of what your child has been doing each day at nursery. A member of staff is always on hand if you have any questions or queries to ask.
ALL Tots are provided with a nappy basket all we ask is you to fill it when the staff inform you it is running low. You are to provide Nappies, Wipes and any creams.
All children are to ensure bags; clothing and bottles are labelled with the child’s name as not to mix things up!!
Planning Activities: We have recently implemented ‘Birth to Three framework’ into our planning. Planned activities are provided every day. Children in this room are introduced to potty/toilet training in conjunction with the wishes of the parents as well as being taught bathroom hygiene.
They are encouraged to share and develop their hand-eye co-ordination with the aid of jigsaws and easy board games. They begin to learn their colours, to count and to enjoy stories and nursery rhymes and play musical instruments, as a result encouraging a love of books and aiding language development and listening skills. Outside play is actively encouraged for all tots.
