Seedlings Room

The Seedlings room caters for toddlers ages 2-3. There is one teacher to every four children in this room. As the name suggests, Seedlings need lots of time and attention to help them grow and mature into beautiful blossoms –something we highly endorse.

Children in this age range are highly active and naturally very curious about the world around them. Their attention span is also very short, so the Seedlings room provides a large variety of stimulating toys and activities which actively encourages sharing and group play.

At this stage of a child’s development, children are learning to discover not only their surrounding environment but also their own personal preferences too. Teachers are trained to work with the children in various settings to promote independence at all stages in the child’s development.

Children are taught to make decisions and think for themselves, as well as learning essential life skills. In line with the curriculum, Blossom nursery uses a variety of different resources to focus activities which prepare the children for the outside world. Our sessions take place at ‘stations’ which are equipped with appropriate resources to help them learn. Stations include:

• Books and storytelling
• Arts and crafts
• Games and puzzles
• Blocks
• Dramatic play

In addition to the stations, we place added emphasis on sessions which are practical and hands-on wherever possible. Your child will be encouraged to work in groups, or with a friend and to also work independently to inspire confidence.
