The ratio is 1 adult to 4 children aged 2-3 years & 1 adult to 8 children aged 3 and over. The children in the Pre-school follow the Early Years foundation Stage which was revised in September 2012. The children have use of the outside space and are encouraged to dress according to the weather.

 

Bizzie Bees provides the children with a range of recourse that support the children in:

 

Playing and Exploring – Engagement: Finding out & exploring, playing with what they know & being willing to have a go.

Active Learning – Motivation: Being involved & concentrating, keep trying, enjoying and achieving what they set out to do.

Creating and Thinking Critically - Thinking: Having their own ideas, making links and choosing ways to do things.

At snack and lunchtime the children are encouraged to be independent. Staff talk with the children about the food they are eating and how it helps them to be strong and healthy. Children are also encouraged to be independent with toileting and hand washing. To minimize the risk of cross-infection the children use paper towels to dry their hands. They are made aware of germs and the need to wash their hands.

All children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. This consists of working towards outcomes/goals in the following areas;

Prime Areas

• Personal social emotional development
• Physical development
• Communication and language

Specific Areas

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding of the world
• Expressive arts and design

Staff complete observations during the activities and record them in the children’s individual learning journeys. Parents, we ask you to contribute to these on a regular basis; slips are available at all time for you to note down any observation or information that you want to share with your child’s key worker. This information will then be fed into your child’s individual learning journey which you are free to see at any time. We also conduct open days where key workers will spend time talking with you about your children’s progress.
