Messy Play Area
Here the children do cooking, painting, paper mache, junk modelling, playing with cooked pasta and food dye, play doh, pottery and anything really messy!

ICT area
Our nursery computer has a range of educational games installed that the children are free to use whenever they choose and staff are on hand to guide them with the games.

Graphics area
Cutting, sticking, glueing, drawing, colouring and creating shapes with all types of materials. We would encourage the children to make pictures and collages around the learning themes we discuss with the children, such as ‘healthy eating’ and ‘the big wide world’.

Construction and Small World
Our building blocks, lego, stickle bricks and little people village enable the children to use their imagination to create child led situations where they lead each other and the staff on their journey of play.

Discovery area
Sand, water, leaves, science and nature – here the children learn about the natural world around them by using sticks, grass and things found in the garden in their play. We also encourage mark making in sand and other materials to encourage letter and number formation.

Cuddle and Book Corner
Cuddles are on offer at our nursery all the time for whenever our children need or want them, and stories are read to the children regularly in this area on a comfy cushion. We hope to help them discover the joy of reading for life.

Role Play
Grown ups world – the children can create a shop, a house, a vets surgery, a doctors surgery and play as grown ups. We have regular themes, such as ‘People who help us’, and with this particular theme, we would encourage the children to dress up as doctors, nurses and police men for example, and discuss with them the roles of those people in the real world and help act them out.
