Child Care

Our child care services & key areas of learning

Birth to 5 Matters

Communication and Language

Developing language underpins all 7 areas of learning. Through communication and conversation children become comfortable using a rich range of vocabulary and language structures. It's good to talk!

Physical Development

Physical activity is vital in children's all-round development enabling them to pursue independant happy, healthy and active lives. Gross motor skills provide the foundation for development and fine motor skills develop hand to eye coordination, pre-writing skills and supports skills with crafts etc.

Understanding of the World

Understanding the world involves guiding children to make sense of their physical world and their community. Widening their personal experiences fosters their understanding of our culturally, socially, technologically and ecologically diverse world.

Expressive Arts and Design

The development of children's artistic and cultural awareness supports their imagination, creativity and critical thinking. This is wonderful for developing their understanding, self-expression, vocabulary and communication skills.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Crucial to leading happy healthy lives this area is fundamental to cognitive development. Building strong, warm and supportive relationships with adults enable children to understand their own feelings and those of others.

Literacy

It's very important for children to develop a life-long love of reading. Language comprehension is developed when adults talk to children, read with them and enjoy poems, stories and songs together. This is supported using a wide range of props such as pictures, puppets, toys and role-play.

Mathematics

Developing a strong understanding of number is essential so that children can excel mathematically. Counting with confidence, understanding the relationships between the numbers from 1-10 and the patterns within those numbers is the foundation. Moving from there to shape. space and measures will develop a child's affinity with mathematics.
