Employer Description:
Our Tiny Travellers room cares for babies aged 6 weeks-2 years. We provide a warm, nurturing environment that, not only promotes development in accordance with the EYFS framework, but more importantly, allows children to feel secure and comforted at all times, providing a home from home experience. Within the 0-2’s room, there are no rigid routines as we believe it is important to base the day around a child’s needs and interests. There are plenty of resources to enhance their development through singing, sensory play, stories and sand and water play. These encourage little ones to develop their fine motor skills and promote confidence and social skills. The development of the children is tracked by our experienced staff who carry out regular observations in accordance with the EYFS to identify any areas where support may be needed and work closely with the parents to ensure every child’s individual needs are being met. We are more than happy to accommodate parent’s wishes when it comes to their child’s routine and always have an open door policy.
