FLEDGLINGS
OUR LITTLE
EXPLORERS
Fledglings are welcomed into Little School from the age of six months and remain in our care until the age of two years
which helps establish good attachments and provides continuity of care.
We recognise that each child is unique and the support we offer is tailored to their individual primary areas of learning and development:
and emotional
and language
development
Fledglings children participate in weekly forest school, cooking, sensory exploration, and creative fine motor development lessons with specialist teaching sessions in music and PE.
Our curriculum is carefully curated to provide rich learning opportunities for children to develop their skills and experience new and exciting activities in a nurturing environment.
Daily Schedule
Below is an example of what a day in Little School might look like:
| 07:30 | Arrival/Breakfast. A delicious selection of cereal, crumpets, toast and toppings. |
| 09:00 | Busy Fingers session focussing on fine motor skills |
| 10:00 | Snack time. Fruit three times per week, fresh bread once per week and a biscuit once per week. |
| 10:30 | Jazzy, jangly music session with one of our specialist music staff. |
| 12:00 | Lunch time - will it be a delicious curry or yummy bolognese? |
| 12:30 | Phew! Time for a rest. After a nap, there is time for child-led learning and transitional free-play with our many interesting resources and equipment. |
| 14:30 | Snack time |
| 15:00 | Outdoor play or a buggy & toddler walk around the grounds/forest school |
| 16:00 | Afternoon tea - will it be vegetable tagine, chilli con carne or everyone’s favourite: fish fingers! |
| 16:30-18:00 | Home time. The children enjoy more indoor/outdoor free play whilst they wait for home time. Wherever possible, your child’s key person will provide an in-person handover and let you know what they have been up to. |
