Our Setting:
Our building is open plan with 2 large playrooms as well as a quiet room for 1-1 or small group activities and a soft play area!
We aim to allow the children to make their own decisions and do not restrict them into 'rooms' allocated by age. Our younger children learn from their closest peers and our older pre-schoolers become excited to be responsible 'helpers' and are mindful around our babies; just like they would be in their own families. |
An enabling environmentIn the woods is committed to providing a nurturing environment and a range of experiences to allow children to be masters of their own learning.
Staff are skilled in following the child's lead and finding 'teachable moments' within play. |
A supportive teamThe staff team at In the woods are passionate about the children in their care and work in partnership with families and other agencies.
Our priority is for the children to be comfortable and confident in our care. |
A healthy balanceWe provide a range of healthy meals and snacks. We are aware of how important it is for children to be aware of the choices they are making. Children are involved in an independent snack bar and are encouraged to be independent at lunch time too.
