Turtles
2-3 Years
Part of our Over 2's Ocean Unit
When starting in Turtles, you will be invited to spend half an hour to play together. This is a good time for a team member to get to know you, your child and their routine.
We want all children to discover a love of literature. We read books daily to build on their vocabulary and imagination. We use story spoons, different props and puppets. We role model how we care for books and how important and magical they are.
We have lots of space for our Turtles to explore and learn through play.
Children are supported to communicate effectively. We want all children to feel their voice is heard and understood.
Children can explore their creative potential and have the freedom to express themselves.
All practitioners have up to date Paediatric First Aid training.
The practitioner to child ratio is 1:5.
Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is focused on seven Areas of Learning. All of these Areas of Learning are important for children’s overall development and wellbeing and lay the foundations for future learning.
The Areas of Learning are:
Communication and Language
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Physical Development
Literacy
Mathematics
Understand of the world
Expressive Arts and Design
These Areas of Learning are split into prime and specific areas. The prime areas are particularly important for learning, developing a sense of self and forming relationships. They build a foundation for children to thrive and provide the basis for learning in all areas. The specific areas help to strengthen and develop the prime areas and ignite children’s curiosity and enthusiasm as they explore the world around them and develop their skills.
