About our toddler room

The toddler room is a large and stimulating room encompassing a large conservatory that opens out onto the garden. In this room there is a more structured routine for children aged between 2 – 3 years. In this room the children are encouraged to refine their social skills and have independent table manners. We work along the birth to five framework, providing lots of activities to develop the children’s new experiences in all areas.
