Orchid Room for 2 year olds

In Orchid Room we have places for up to 16 children, these are a mix of fee paying places and those children who are eligible at 2 to access their free early education entitlement.

In this room we have one practitioner working with up to four children, therefore the adult to child ratio is 1:4 at all times.

We have a safe and stimulating environment with access to the outdoors, in which we encourage the children to explore and experience new things, enabling them to grow in confidence and independence.

All children are allocated a key person who will support them throughout their time in Orchid, however the staff team work together to plan from the children’s individual and group interests and provide opportunities to extend their learning.

All children have an individual Learning Journal and there will be plenty of opportunities to discuss your child’s settling in and progress with their key worker during the time they are with us.

We work hard to develop trusting and rewarding relationships with all our children and their families.

Children usually move up into Foxglove the term after their third birthday.
