Pre-School (Sunflower) Room

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

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 Foundation Stage (from birth to 5) 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
  • Art and Craft table
  • Construction area
  • Small World toys
  • Maths area
  • Computer table
  • 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 Early Years Foundation Stage Areas of Learning.

In the Sunflower 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.
