Hi, I’m Laura the team leader in the Tweenie section of the nursery. I am a mother to two children. I have worked here for over 10 years. This is just a little note to tell you all about the Tweenie section, and our daily routine.
Tweenie Rooms
The Tweenie section is a little more structured than the baby room, we follow an activity plan based on the areas of learning. Each of our topics has a theme, which is split into weekly activities, we have activities from painting to playdoh, and cooking to outdoor play, but whatever we have going on there is always fun and laughter to be heard.
Throughout the day we split the children into groups. We have 4 large rooms in the Tweenie section which we use throughout the day. These include; soft play room, dining room/art room, quiet/sensory room and role play room. We also have a large outdoor play area which we use daily. We do have nursery all in one coats to use outside in all weather.
During the day we provide breakfast, toast, dinner, light tea and a late snack. All our meals are eaten in the dining room on highchairs or small table and chairs for the older Tweenie children. We have a chef Lynne who prepares all our meals daily, using the best fresh ingredients. We also cater for children with any food allergies or dietary requirements.
We provide Tweenie daily sheets which informs you what your child has eaten, nappy changes and sleep times from there day at tweenies.
I understand that leaving your child can be a daunting time for you and your child and you may feel nervous. You are more than welcome to wait in the foyer until your child settles, and once you leave you can ring the nursery as many times as you want to check on your little one, we all have individual phones so that you can speak direct to the staff member looking after your child. I look forward to meeting you and your child very soon.
