Both our Nurseries follow the same set up and curriculum! You can read all about our various beautiful rooms and age groups below.
Within our Nurseries we have 5 different rooms for varying ages. We keep the environments brightly decorated with attractive wall displays showing the children's work. We always set up exciting activities that are well designed to reflect our curriculum ensuring the best facilities are provided for each child's individual learning and development needs.
Within their room your child will have their own key person who will spark a close bond with your little one enabling a positive attachment so that when you, the parent, depart for the day the child knows they have their special person there for them alongside the rest of the team. This person will be there for the initial pre-start where you can get to know each other right from the get go! We find having a key person is vital for healthy communication between you and the Kinderland team.
Bumble Bees
Our Bumble Bees rooms are for our youngest babies. With our warm professional love and care babies are encouraged to explore using their inbuilt curiosity and desire to make sense of the world around them. Our positive, secure and healthy environment enables children to develop into confident, happy and strong little people! Our staff are highly qualified with a sound knowledge of baby development.
We have a very flexible routine in Bumble Bees which revolves around each babies individual needs. We initially follow your babies home routine and then gradually introduce our routine, depending on the age of the little one.
Our Bumbles enjoy weekly music sessions with Tunes for Tots, physical development with Leaps and Bounds and visits to our local library for rhyme time!
Busy Bees
Busy bees is for children around 16+ months and always has lots of activities available for the children to freely explore alongside their lovely staff members. The children in Busy's are given lots of opportunities to begin to develop their communication and language skills as well as building on their physical abilities. They are encouraged to take risks and try new things! We have lots of messy play to engage their senses and help them make sense of the world around them!
Our Busy's enjoy weekly music sessions with Tunes for Tots, physical development with Leaps and Bounds and visits to our local library for rhyme time!
Tumble Tigers
Tumble Tigers is our room for our almost twos & younger two year olds, in this room we promote lots of communication and language skills and learn about topics such as our colours, awareness of numbers and shapes as well as being kind to our friends! Sometimes in this room we may start potty training so we have lots of facilities available to help us in this big step!
Our Tumbles enjoy weekly physical development with Leaps and Bounds and visits to our local library for rhyme time! They also may pop out for other outings depending on our learning theme - recently Tumbles have been to the Post Office whilst learning about People who help us!
Barn Owls
In Barn Owls we have so much fun! We get messy, we explore and we make the best of friends. We learn about developing aspects of our social skills such as how we use our ‘listening ears’, following instructions, beginning to share and developing knowledge of who we are as people. The children also focus on their independence in Barn Owls, this means there is lots of toilet training that goes on! We work in partnership with parents to ensure continuous care which really helps with successful consistent toilet training.
Our Barn Owls enjoy weekly physical development sessions with Leaps and Bounds, local outings, Mango tree drummers 8 week course annually, football lessons in the spring & summer and lots of other visitors based on our learning themes! They also celebrate lots of different special days - Barns recently celebrated Teddy bear day!
Preschool
Preschool is about guiding the children towards being ready for that all important landmark, their first day at big school! This isn't just about reading and writing, it's about life skills too! The more prepared the children are the easier they will settle into school. Using our curriculum and the EYFS we plan exciting activities for the children in order extend their learning, challenge their abilities and encourage sustained shared thinking.
We aim to help the children learn skills such as the best ways to express our emotions, good manners, dressing ourselves, personal hygiene and expressing our wants, needs and ideas through words.
In Preschool we go on even more outings so that they can experience the wider world, we go to varying places to give children the best sense of awe and wonder! Our most favourite is our woodland adventures to Croham Hurst woods! We also embark on a great adventure to the London Transport Museum when we learn all about Transport in May & June.
Our Preschoolers have French Lessons twice a week, weekly football lessons and physical development sessions with Leaps and Bounds.
