Facilities
Our Explorers rooms provide all the essentials for the inquisitive, active two-three year olds. We ensure these young children are able to enjoy and develop by providing access to the activities they like to do and find interesting.
The Explorers Rooms have been designed with an emphasis firmly on Learning through Play. A wide range of exciting activities are on offer in our dedicated craft, role-play, construction, reading and outdoor areas.
Our child friendly storage allows children to select their own toys, learning activities and materials which helps to build on their development in decision making and confidence. With environmental print and numerals in the environment, it is the perfect space for the Explorers to develop early literacy and mathematical skills. At Streatham House Nursery, we are lucky enough to have a mini bus where we can go on different trips such as Imagine That and Pumpkin Picking.
The toilet facilities in the Explorer rooms are easily accessible, essential for this crucial stage in development when our children are learning to toilet train and become that little bit more independent.
Development
The Early Years practitioners in our Explorers rooms are dedicated to ensuring children develop key skills to get them prepared for the next room, Adventurers! With childhood studies as a degree, both Room leaders have effective knowledge and experiences with this age range.
A combination of planned and spontaneous activities are implemented to stretch children’s abilities, along with online observations recorded and shared with parent and guardians. The Explorers begin to explore their early reading skills, having access to a self-registration board to find their own name independently. With story baskets that include puppets, props and fairy-tale books, the children have endless opportunities to develop their imagination and sequencing skills.
