Robins children, aged 3-4 years, experience an enriched curriculum that truly prepares them for the transition to school. They enjoy an entertaining phonics programme with cross-curricular activities to help embed their learning. Each week has a new maths and literacy focus, which is supported by our highly experienced Early Years teachers. Opportunities for children to learn about the world around them are scattered throughout the year with an annual visit to the pumpkin farm, visits to school from people that help us, a petting farm and more.
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. |
