Tiger Lily Room
The room for toddlers aged 2-3 years. The staff child ratio is 1:4
In this room, every child has a positive learning journey through on entry and through their transition to ensure continuous assessment. Each child has their own learning journals which consist of observations, learning stories & photographs. We also use the Early Years Foundation Stage alongside Flying from the Start & Learning Together to enhance each child's learning development. We follow a Rhythm of the Day which is a routine adopted especially for toddlers & is softer than a structured routine which gives children an insight into the chain of events of the day. The children daily access the vast outside area taking their play & learning outdoors. The toddlers have a range of activities and experiences of learning through play & these are changed & rotated & catered for by the children's interests.
In the Tiger Lily Room we have 4 main zone areas:
sensory (sand, water, gloup, playdough)
cosy area (with books, musical instruments & sensory experiences)
small world & construction area (blocks, bricks, doll's house, garage, animals etc.)
role play area - fully equipped kitchen with real fruit & vegetables to explore, opportunities to dress up, drive & cook together.
