OUR ROOMS

At St Bernards we provide additional learning opportunities by organising an array of outings within the community. These allow for children's knowledge to be extended upon and offer first hand experiences.

The Little Wrigglers

The Little Wrigglers are located at the front of the premises with a play area catering for both immobile and mobile children ranging from birth to 20/24 months. The calm inviting environment provides numerous play zones equipped with a range of resources and activities including multi sensory experiences to support the EYFS. The Little Wrigglers is also directly linked to a quiet room where rest/sleep facilities are provided.

The Little Explorers

The areas for our Little Explorers are designed to not only provide learning zones to promote the EYFS but also to stimulate and support the curiosity and inquisitiveness of the toddler age range 24/36 months. Children have the opportunity to experience construction, mark making, roleplay, creative workshops, small world and sand/water play. Key workers play an integral role within this area and actively support the child's learning and development to ensure each child's full potential is met.

The Little Learners

The little Learners are situated to the rear of the building. The room is sub divided to incorporate different stimulating areas for creative minds, role play, mathematics, construction, book area, small world and loose parts play, and our cosy pod for relaxation for our children from 36 months to school age. The key workers support the education and learning and ensure a good balance between adult led and child-initiated activities are provided so that the children’s individual interests and development needs are met.

Our Garden

The large rear garden replicates the learning zones within the setting. Children can freely experience construction with many natural materials, digging area enhanced with items for learning, large sand pit, a growing area, a living growing willow tunnel and dome, tyres to balance and create learning zones, a quiet story telling area and a mud kitchen. We also have a tree house, pirate ship and an outdoor school house. The children learn about animal care and mini beasts through the observation of our bug hotel and nursery pet corner.

Sleep Room

Cots and mattresses are available to accommodate any child who may need a rest during the day. Each child is provided with their own linen. The Little Explorers also have access to a tranquil area where they are able to relax and rest.

Sensory Room

The children have the opportunity to use this area situated on the first floor of the premises. Small groups are able to have fun, and relax with the use of our soft play and sensory equipment. The resources provided aid stimulation and physical development as well as a calming environment for or essential chilling out time.
