About The Room
The room is designed for babies, with low shelving, age-appropriate tables, chairs and resources. We have different textured flooring, ceiling mobiles and twinkling lights to encourage sensory development on every level. The room is flanked by low level windows which look out on to the school playing fields and beyond this the countryside.
Small World Area
This area encourages children to play with representations of familiar animals vehicles and begin to play imaginatively and rein act their experiences.
Role Play & Fine Motor Development Area
This area is designed to encourage imaginative play and physical development. Manipulation of shape sorters and puzzles encourage problem solving and development of muscles in the fingers, hands and arms.
Soft Play Area
This area is designed to encourage Gross motor development from crawling to pulling up to climbing. This area challenges the children’s abilities in a safe and secure way.
Relaxation & Book Area
This area offers an area to rest and relax in. Here the children can share a book with an adult or choose one to look at independently.
The books range from picture books and short stories.
