Organisation of the day at Lea Pre-School & Kids Club
​Upon arrival in the morning the children will be offered breakfast and a drink.
They are then guided into small groups according to their age and the ratio of staff to children.
The children will then move around the different areas of the nursery and participate in the various activities in each area.
The Toddler Room
The toddler room is a large and spacious nursery room which houses a host of activity areas and acts a s a base room for the children aged between 2-3years. The Home Corner, reflects the current theme, be it a Doctor’s surgery, a shop, or a castle. A music system will be available to reinforce other activities such as music and dance / movement.
There will be room for large scale floor play such as Construction, Duplo, or Miniature World play such as the Farm, Jungle world, Cars, Animal Hospital, or the Family Doll’s House. The toddler room will also have the flexibility to host group activities such as singing, dancing and physical activities.
In really cold or wet weather; climbing apparatus or small apparatus will be used in this large room. It is important that your child has the opportunity to let off some steam whilst simultaneously developing their physical skills.
The Pre-School Room
Off the entrance lobby, this room acts as a base for the older children. This is a space that the children can access resources that are more age appropriate for their stage of development. They can set something up and return to it at a later date without it being interfered with or pose a risk to the younger children.
A computer will be in this area and children will have access to programmes appropriate to their level of development. Mouse control and hand-eye coordination will be greatly enhanced by regular but regulated access. Children will be given the opportunity to use the computer during each session.
Creative / Wet & Messy Area
This area will host the painting, water, sand, soil and clay play! In fact - anything wet or messy! A structured activity will always reflect the monthly theme. Aprons will be provided, however please do not send them in their best clothes.
Outdoor Play
The Ride-on-toy patio has a selection of trikes and vehicles. Other patio areas enable year round outdoor activities such as a chalk board, sand and water play.
All children will have the opportunity for outdoor free play and a structured outdoor activity during each session. We aim to encourage your child to accomplish a host of physical skills using their body and small apparatus.
Our nature garden, hosts balance beams, willow arches, stepping logs, boulders and a large sandpit. We also have a pet area with rabbits, guinea pigs, pigs, sheep and chickens. The children enjoy going on outings into the field to feed the animals.
