Our Children
Our enchanted and friendly nursery welcomes and cares for children aged between three months all the way to five years. Twisty Tails has a simple ethos; by monitoring the way in which children play we find out what interests them so activities can be incorporated into their schedules. We promote; individual personalities, courage and independence by helping children make their own choices through wonderful rich experiences reflected in learning and teaching methods.
The Children are split into three primary categories:
Explorers (3 months to 1 years)
Staff help babies to explore the environment that they are in and familiarise themselves with their surroundings. Enhancing emotional and social development by incorporating innovative ways to build the foundations for communicating
Enforced a new ground breaking system ‘Sign with your baby’ this entails hand gestures that enable pre-speech children to communicate their needs and observations. Babies take part in highly interactive activities that include play and sensory experiences to increase progression
Discoverers (1 Year – 2 Years)
As babies grow we aim to integrate an inquisitive nature into them so that they can challenge boundaries and develop rapidly. Our staff members aid children in physical growth by actively encouraging; crawling, walking, running, jumping and climbing whilst learning. The safe toddler rooms are equipped with state of the art toys and apparatus to support discovery
To encourage imaginative and creative attributes we use a range of; picture books, story telling, music and finger rhymes to cultivate listening and understanding skills ?for toddlers. Help toddlers to build confidence and inspire them to thrive in what they do, be it learning to talk or engage in other interactive activities.
Inventors (1 Year – 2 Years)
As toddlers transform to pre-schoolers we consistently encourage self-managed activities as part of day-to-day plan. Some activities include: developing Information and technology abilities via using the latest technology and software programmes (on computers and tablets), enhance learning by dressing up as different characters and learning about them, encouraging messy play (finger/hand paining) ‘cooking’ in the play kitchen to learn about nutrition and so on in order to develop their independence and life skills
Nursery teachers use creative methods to implement literacy and numeracy skills in innovative and fun ways through for example letter/word/number games to cultivate and stimulate the children and challenge them mentally . Children are taught how to corporate with others respectfully pioneer them for a smooth transition into their future educational and social paths.
