Setting them off on the right course

Innovators

 

Innovators caters for children from 2 years to school age. These rooms prepare them for their transition to school and there is a wide variety of activities within the room to help your child's development from discovery play and mathematical development to a variety of arts and crafts.  

 

We follow The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which is a framework of guidance for every registered early years setting (including schools) working with children from birth to 5 years. It consists of 4 Themes & Principles, each of which is underpinned by a set of commitments which detail how the principles should be put into practice. This means that every person working at Little Darwins must provide an environment where all young children feel included, safe and valued.

 

As parents, you should be confident that while your child is being cared for and educated at Little Darwins their individual learning is nurtured, developed and extended through a wide range of positive experiences and play.

Schools in bloom competition

We are very proud of our children and staff for all their hard work developing our garden this year. Children have transformed garden areas into a dinosaur swamp, fairy garden, vegetable allotment and a ship. We have been developing fine and gross motor skills through digging soil and potting plants and we have developed our understanding of the world knowledge through learning how to take care of our plants daily. All of the children's efforts have won them first place in 'Schools in bloom competition' sponsored by meadow croft. Well done to everyone who took part!

World book day

Thank you to all who took part in world book day, all costumes were fantastic. Children enjoyed all of our book themed activities especially our food tasting items from Handa's surprise, our interactive story telling of Jack and the beanstalk and our Rainbow fish dance. Children made special memories to treasure.

A huge thank you to the Little Darwins team for all your hard work and well done to Laura, Millie and Sam for winning prizes for best costumes.

Diwali 2018

We have had an amazing week celebrating Diwali. Children have been commemorating the Hindu festival of lights by making Diva lamps, painting Rangoli patterns, dancing to music with bright textured materials, finger lights and bells. We had a special visitor come to Little Darwins this week, Ash shared Mehndi (henna) with the children. Children were excited to show their designs to staff, peers and their families. Thank you to all the children and families for sharing this topic with us

Father's day session

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Father's day session, we hope you all had a great time.
During the session children and adults took part in team games, dancing to the Mexican hat routine and the YMCA, which was followed by a special picnic on the field.
We appreciate all your continued support and look forward to sharing many more special moments.
