The Yellow Room

What to expect when you first visit the pre-school(yellow) room

- The Environment    - The Staff    - Curriculum    - How our day is structured

• The Environment

When you visit the pre-school room you will find it colourfully stimulating and attractive.  Your child’s love for learning is an innate attribute as is being praised and achieving.  The walls of the pre-school room are therefore decorated with displays of their work – giving them a sense of belonging and ownership.  All resources are at the children’s height within easy reach so that the children are able to explore and handle as they desire.  At the Tulips Day Nursery the Early Years Curriculum for under-fives incorporates all those aspects of learning that are necessary for your child’s development.  The room is therefore divided to include all these activities, they include:

  • Sand and water area  
  • Book corner    
  • Role play area   
  • Writing table   
  • Maths area    
  • Computer table
  • Art and Craft table
  • Construction area
  • Small World toys
  • Science area
  • Music area

Children will learn through a combination of planned activities, play and first hand experiences.


• The Staff

Between the ages of 3-5 the ratio of adults to children is one to eight.  All the pre-school staff at the Tulips Day Nursery are trained and experienced to deliver the Foundation Stage Areas of Learning.

In the Yellow room the staff will work alongside you and your child to prepare for the transition to BIG SCHOOL.  Your child will be encouraged at every step of the way to become independent, in turn developing those social skills by means of which they will learn to communicate and be understood by others.

Early Learning Goals

From the ages of 3-5 all children at the Tulips Day Nursery follow the Government’s Foundation Stage of education which entails the ‘Early Learning Goals’.

This in turn prepares the children and feeds into the National Curriculum at Key Stage 1 – which is covered at Primary School. 

The Early Learning Goals are a series of aims within six areas of a child’s development and learning.

  1. Personal, social and emotional development, which focuses on the children learning how to work, play share and become more independent in a group other than the family unit.
  2. Communication, language and literacy – this covers developing skills in speaking, listening, writing and reading as well as communication with one another.
  3. Mathematical development, using ideas relating to numbers, measurement, quantity, shape and space in order to gain basic mathematical skills.
  4. Knowledge and understanding of the created world, where children investigate and begin to understand the things, places and people around them.
  5. Physical development, relating to improving control and coordination of their bodies.
  6. Creative development, where children find ways to communicate using colour, shape, sound, texture, movement and stories.


Although the structured and formal part of your child’s day is important we give the unstructured and informal part, such as meal times, talking to each other, and outside play, just as much importance, because during this time your child is continuously learning.
