Care, Learning and Play Policy

Children learn when they are in a safe and caring environment where they are stimulated through play.

Babies and young children develop best when they are in a caring relationship with an adult. A baby will learn to walk faster when they have a safe pair of arms to walk towards and learn to talk, when they have an adult listening and responding to them.

Little Explorers strive to provide your child with an environment that will be caring, fun and stimulating. We ensure to follow the Early Years Foundation Stage guidelines when providing care for your child.

(Please ask us if you would like to see a copy of these documents)

Little Explores provide activities that support the main learning areas:

  • Literacy
  • Physical Development
  • Mathematics
  • Communication and language
  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development
  • Understanding the World
  • Expressive Arts and Design

A small example of activities will include:

  • Dressing up clothes
  • Books, Music, DVDs
  • Small World Toys
  • Construction Toys (Lego, duplo etc)
  • Pretend Play (toy kitchen etc)
  • Water play
  • Arts and Crafts
  • Outings
  • Cooking
  • Gardening
  • Outdoor play and equipment and much more

We will regularly observe your child and make both a written and mental record. This will enable us to make very simple plans on how we can help your child move onto the next stage of their development. These written records are available for you to look at anytime.

If there is a particular activity that you would like us to do with your child, please let us know. We are very happy to support activities that you are doing at home or events that have happened; for example if you have been to a wedding we can continue this theme by providing the children with material to use as wedding clothes and help them understand through books and other resources.
