From September 2026, children will join our 0-2-year-old room, from the age of 9 months.  Children within this classroom are either funded through the 0–2-year-old working parent entitlement, or through privately paying, if the family are not yet entitled to any funding support (£10 per hour).

The classroom is carefully planned to build on the experiences that children have had in their home, with their family.  The staff in this room work hard to:

• Understand the family makeup for each child and promote this within the setting
• Support the transition from home, understanding that this may be the first time children leave their parents
• Develop positive and caring relationships, with both parents and children, so that a trusted bond grows and we know your child's routine well and can help them to feel at home in our school
• Learn where each child is starting from, to support clear development that is individualised 
• Promote communication for all, through age-appropriate learning, including eye gaze, body gesture and speech
• Help children to explore and play with age-appropriate resources, in a fun and exciting way, introducing new experiences, as they develop
• Develop attention and social interaction, so that children learn to be around other children and allow them in their space safely

We are still exploring session times, the best way to work this out, is for you to inform us the hours you need and we will then confirm the hours we have agreed on, by July 2026. Session times will be linked to funded hours and the routine below.
