activities at nursery

At Central Park Nursery we realise that it is very important that all activities are appropriate to the stage and the age of the children. With this in mind we follow the Birth to Three matters guidelines for planning for the 0 to 3 year olds.

For our babies we have mobiles, activity centres, musical toys and above all human contact, which includes cuddles, singing, talking and reading. For our toddlers we have walkers, colourful bricks, stacking toys, painting activities with finger and jumbo brushes, sand and water play and lots of drawing and sticky pictures to name just a few.

In our two's room we have musical instruments, jelly play, lots of messy activities, music and movement, ball pool, quieter time to enjoy books and listen to stories, cooking and lots more.

Our 3-5's are introduced to a greater amount of educational activities working from themes which promote writing and numerical skills and of course the usual playing in the sand and water tray, playing with dough, reading books, singing, construction, role play and small world toys.

The emphasis of activities at Central Park Nursery is "learning through play", when children learn without realising it. It would be impossible to name all our activities in our prospectus, we do however encourage parents to come along and see which activities we have planned for each day.

ABOVE ALL we need all parents to regard the development of their children as a team effort between our staff and themselves. We therefore welcome any suggestions you make, in turn we use our professional skills to promote the overall development of your child.

Central Park Nursery has developed its own Educational programme closely following the Shropshire Early Years Curriculum. Parents can view the curriculum whenever they wish along side our Central Park Nursery policies.
