Welcome to Hedgehog Room
Our Early Years Three nursery classes are staffed by qualified teachers and highly skilled Early Years Practitioners. The adult ration is 1:13 and children are placed in key groups and are supported by familiar key adults in their rooms.
Across the rooms, we offer 15 hour sessions over two and a half days and we also offer places for 30 hour sessions.
The nursery sessions are developed around a supportive daily routine, which includes opportunities for the children to work in a small group, plan their own learning, make independent choices about what they want to explore, review their learning, and experience story, songs and rhymes.
Staff observe children closely, finding out what interests and motivates them, they then plan dynamic learning opportunities to extend and develop the children’s learning.
