Puffins: 18 months - 3 Years
The Puffins will welcome children from 18 months of age providing a structured yet informal introduction to socialising and basic education. We believe strongly in the value of learning through play and practical experience and will offer a wide range of activities to cover all areas of the curriculum and personal development.
As part of their Daily Routine the children will be encouraged to develop independence and confidence through music and drama. While art and construction encourage creative development, sand, water and cooking offer an introduction to science in a group setting.
The Puffins children will gain confidence and independence within the EYFS framework before moving on to the Tigers room at the age of 3 years.
Birth to Three Matters
The EYFS is based on four Principles:
A UNIQUE CHILD
Every child is a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS
Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person.
ENABLING ENVIRONMENTS
The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children's development and learning.
LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates and all areas of Learning and Development are equally important and inter-connected.
