Child Care for Pre School Early Years development

Tiggers

Children move into the Tiggers and Eeyores room around their third birthday. The majority of children attending access the government's Early Years funding.  During the sessions the Tiggers and Eeyores can free flow through their rooms leading onto an outside play area.

Our educational provision has been developed to provide opportunities for the children to develop skills in the following areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum.

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development.
• Communication Language and Literacy.
• Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy
• Knowledge and Understanding of the World.
• Physical Development.
• Creative Development.

The children develop these skills through a variety of carefully planned adult and child initiated activities. The children are regularly assessed and activities are tailored to suit their needs. Parents are invited in to discuss their child's progress at regular intervals throughout the year.

Staff ratio in the Tiggers and Eeyores is 1 adult to 5 children.

Funding

Early Years Government funding entitles every 3 and 4 year old to 5 x 3 hour education sessions a week for 38 weeks of the year.

Children who attend only the funded sessions, during term times only, are paid for by Government funding. The children who attend for longer sessions and/or all year round have the early years government funding deducted for their monthly fees. The funded sessions can be used over a maximum of 6 hours per day and a minimum of 3 days.
