“The twoness of twos”

“The provision for two-year-olds is carefully set up with familiar toys, similar to those the
children would see at home. Staff balance this with increasingly challenging activities,
often using natural resources such as wood and water, as children grow in confidence” OFSTED REPORT JAN 2020

Learning and play within the Bees class (The Hive) is always busy and fun! We recognise the unique needs of the Two year old and create a stimulating and engaging environment for them to explore.

The children are supported by adults with a ratio of 1:4 or 1:5 and have access to a smaller outdoor space as well as visits to the “big garden” for children who turn three.

We work along side an Early years practitioner who leads on WELCOMM for speech and language development.

We are able to offer Government funded places for  two year old children. There is an Eligibility Criteria for the 2 year old education entitlement. This is 15 hours per week and will be offered either AM or PM  or a Flex place and is term time only.
