Babies
3 months - 14 months approx.
The babies at Appleblossom are cared for in our specially designed baby room where staff ratios and space ratios are extremely high. This gives your baby the comfort and personal attention they need at this important stage in their life.
Our carers are highly responsive and interactive at this stage with the babies as they need personalised care. The activities for babies focus on exploring through a variety of play and natural sensory materials; communication through eye contact, close contact, peek a boo, hand gestures, story and picture books, clapping, music and songs, learning through play about texture, shape, colour, weight and sound.
Toddlers
14 months - 3 years approx.
In the toddler room your child will have a more structured day and will take part in more group activities. They learn through doing and at Appleblossom they may chose from a wide range of activities enhancing all areas of development including outdoor games, sand and water play, music and movement, arts & crafts, imaginative play - home corner, dress up and circle time with news and story telling.
Toddlers take part in small educational projects such as recycling and gardening activities, with the guidance and support of qualified and experienced teachers.
There is a strong focus on the child's language development and building of self esteem. Support is given to the child to ensure a secure sense of belonging.
