The Sycamore Room

The Sycamore Room is for jigsaw puzzles, writing and drawing, table games to encourage turn taking, looking at books in the book area and our ‘small world’ play area.

Drama and music also feature during the sessions, as can woodwork and ICT.

The Ivytree Room

The Ivytree Room has play areas for sand, the home corner, dressing up, painting, water play, cooking and play-dough making.

It also has a book corner, construction and sticking areas.

The Garden

We recognise the importance of outdoor play. The outdoors is the very best place for young children to practice and master their emerging physical skills. The children love the Ivytree garden and throughout the year, we always have a dedicated squad of keen gardeners. We are outside in both summer and winter.

Our activities include a sand-pit, water play, den area, bikes and hoops. We encourage the children to use the open space as their imagination leads them. It is in the outdoors that children are likely to burn the most energy, which helps prevent obesity and heart disease.
