About our tweenie room

The tweenie room is a large and stimulating room providing a more structured routine for children aged approximately 12 months to 2 years. In this room the children are encouraged in their social skills to share their toys, take turns, to say please and thank you. We work along the birth to five framework, providing lots of activities to develop the children’s new experiences in all areas.

The environment

	Provides a wide collection of opportunities for tweenies to explore investigate and learn in a safe, stimulating place
	Encourages tweenies to paint, draw and engage in a wide range of creative activities, and in quieter moments there is time to look at books or complete jigsaws.
	Promotes independent learning, social skills and personal development essential for all tweenies
	Ensures tweenies can have the opportunity to rest if necessary, sleeping on comfortable sleep mats

The routine / activities

	The day is structured but flexible to meet the individual needs of tweenies. Indoor and outdoor experiences are planned offering a wide variety of opportunities.
