Giraffes room (3-4 years old)
The children in the pre-school room are introduced to numbers, colours, and basic reading and writing skills to help their development. They also follow the ‘Early Years Foundation Stage’ which prepares them for school. The nursery staff liaise with both the parents and the teachers at the local primary schools with regard to how much preparation for school life they feel is appropriate. Children have access to a computer on a daily basis and they follow the ‘Jolly Phonic’ alphabet scheme.
