Nappies

Nappies are checked regularly throughout the day and care diaries are logged on the parent app.

Activities

During the free flow indoors and/or outdoors sessions, our specialists will visit the site to deliver their activity.

Outdoor play

Children enjoy daily outdoor time. Highly valued for its benefits, it sparks imagination, supports mental well-being, channels energy into active play, and aids physical development.

Outings

At Fennies, we actively connect with our local communities and regularly explore nearby areas like libraries, care homes, or parks. Before each outing, we conduct thorough safety assessments to ensure the well-being of our children. They'll wear high-visibility jackets and explore in small groups.

Explorers

3 months - 18 months

As a child begins to crawl and stand, they explore the world using their senses. Our Explorers, aged 3 months – 2 years, are just beginning to establish communication and language, so we incorporate innovative resources for sensory development into our Explorer rooms to encourage their exploration of movement and communication.

Focus on experiences that encourage movement and play games that inspire communication.

Our educators work closely with you to keep your child’s routine and sleep patterns.

Dedicated milk kitchen and nappy changing areas.

Soft furnishings for tummy time.

Discoverers

18 months - 24 months

This is the age a child’s personality starts to take shape. Discovering their own likes, dislikes, and abilities, children begin to proudly display their need to communicate. They have increased movement, curiosity, and a strong desire to independently discover the world around them. This is a pivotal stage, and our educators focus on supporting our Discoverers independence in all areas of learning and development.

Educators provide comfort and support as your child learns to regulate their feelings and behaviour.

Flexible routines encourage communication and independence, allowing your child to discover their interests.

Indoor and outdoor play with a variety of open-ended, natural materials that inspire discovery.

Creators

24 months - 36 months

At this stage, children have laid the foundations for utilising their natural abilities. They begin to use their language and communication skills to socialise and create relationships. They also begin to create their self-care routines. Our skilful educators will support your child as they move through this exciting phase of development. We plan experiences that engage your child in literacy, maths, understanding the world, and expressive arts.

Specially created spaces where your child can enjoy quiet time, read a book or talk to their friends.

Equipment in the room allows your child to develop understanding of self-care, by washing and drying their hands and dressing themselves independently.

Toys and resources are available within their reach to promote decision-making skills and independent learning.

Inventors

3 years +

Our educators work closely with local schools to ensure a seamless transition and many of our activities at this stage revolve around ‘transition preparation’. At this age, educators allow children the space to invent ways of independently taking on tasks and preparing for their day. Carefully planned days focus on different areas of interest for your child to investigate and provide opportunities to develop skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths (STEAM).

Bespoke experiences support communication, social, and physical abilities to equip your child for the next phase of life and learning.

Our Inventors’ rooms offer real-life resources that encourage your child to solve problems and develop complex role-play skills.

Educators are tuned in with your child’s development, identifying their strengths and working with them on areas to improve, ensuring a seamless transition to school.

Exploring these Early Years lays the groundwork for lifelong learning.
