Foxglove Room for 3 Year Olds

In Foxglove Room we have places for up to 24 children, these are a mix of fee paying places and those children who are eligible to access their free early education entitlement including those children eligible for 30 hours a week.

Foxglove Room provides high quality learning and care for children aged 3-4 years old in their pre-school year. We have one practitioner working with up to eight children, therefore the adult to child ratio is 1:8 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. Outdoor learning is highly valued and available at all times during the day.

All children are allocated a key person who will support them throughout their time in Foxglove, however the staff team work together to observe children closely, finding out what interests and motivates them. They then plan dynamic learning opportunities from the children’s individual and group interests to extend and develop their learning.

The sessions in Foxglove are developed around a daily routine, which includes opportunities for the children to work in a small group, plan their own learning, make independent choices about what they want to explore, review their learning, experience story and songs/rhymes.

All children have an individual Learning Journal and there will be plenty of opportunities to discuss your child’s 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.
