Investigate and Explore
Caring for under 2 year olds
At Coombe Day Nursery Limited, we understand the importance of the well-being of the children. We follow your individual routines from home, work in parent partnership and have our own dedicated sleep room or relaxation room for babies, where we feature Dream Coracles and follow Safer Sleep procedures.
Our youngest rooms are specially designed to stimulate children’s senses and enhance their abilities and curiosity. All piglets have access to our arts and crafts messy play area and role play area. Our doors open out into the garden, where they have the luxury of being able to free flow inside and outside, accessing both learning environments and enriching their play, alongside physical development.
Caring for under 3 year olds
From a young age, we also introduce natural resources into their play and exploration, opening their imaginations. World celebrations and festivals are also explored through play and adult led provisions, educating and introducing them the wider community and world around them, including trips out!
Our rooms feature a climbing tower and slide, to enhance the children’s physical abilities, along with role play areas, creative and investigation areas. All rooms also have a cosy sensory corner, for exploring books, reflective and mindful practice. Our early toddler rooms let children explore and become independent children, building on their imaginative play. We also love messy play!
Readying for school over 3 year olds
At Coombe Day Nursery Limited, the children enjoy being able to experiment and have the freedom to explore and be creative.
We also provide areas and resources for the children to use their imaginations in make believe play, one day we can have fairy play and the next fire fighters! Children will start to be encouraged to self-serve their own meals, drink from cups, participate in clothing changing, and engaging in toilet training transitions, helping them to become independent in their selfcare.
Friendships and stronger than ever, exploring is impulsive and learning is fun! In our Preschool rooms, they start to develop their play in a whole new way. They have a natural love for mark making, being active, exploring their creativity and pushing their limits. They will start to use technology more and become confident learners.
Each day the children will enjoy phonics sessions, active maths, sharing books, group working, as well as having the opportunity to take part in extra curricular activities and selected play.
Our children leave us confident in making marks and pencil control, toileting, social skills and knowing how to interact, problem solvers, ability to use a knife and fork, putting on shoes, getting dressed, counting skills, phonic and sound ability leading to forming letters, blending to read words and early writing ability. Our children have the freedom to pick activities, learn together, play together, create and make memories together, before embarking on their school journey.
