Tinytots Playgroup 2 - 4 years old
Routine
The routine in the playgroup is used as a guideline and is flexible at all times dependant on children’s individual needs. We understand that young children's routines are all different and therefore we are adapt the routines to suit the needs of the children. We will always give parent/carers feedback on how your child has been and more importantly we will also tell you about your child's day including the activities that they have been doing.
The playgroup sessions includes a wide range of planned indoor and outdoor activities including opportunities for music and movement, messy and creative play, mark making, small world play and developing our knowledge of the world around us.
All the activities provided are encouraging the children's important skills that are needed to develop based around the three prime areas:
Communication and language;
Physical development; and
Personal, social and emotional development
The children have free access to the resources within the room and we also plan activities based on observations made on the children's individual interests. The activities we plan for are varied and incorporate the local environment including trips to the shops, library and local park. We keep a record of the children's work and of their development including photographs and observations.
Daily care routine
Sleeps
If your child needs a sleep during the session then there are comfortable areas where this can take place.
Nappy changes and toilet training
Children's nappies are changed in the bathroom on a changing table as needed all children will be checked during the session and changed if needed. We ask that parents bring nappies and wipes and leave them on their child's peg during the session. Parents are to supply all nappies and other changing essentials such as nappy cream and baby wipes.
When you feel your child is ready to begin toilet training we will talk about how you want to do this for example use pull ups or go straight in to knickers or underpants. We have potties and toilets one of which is fitted with a trainer seat with steps. During the potty training period we do ask parents to provide spare clothes in case there are any accidents.
Staff Ratio
