Setting
Our day care is
situated at the Beaumont social centre. It consists of a
large open plan room.
The room is
transformed on a daily basis into a child friendly inviting childcare
setting.
We
provide zoned areas of learning for the children to experience
different and diverse learning experiences, we have maths, book/quiet
area, messy, role play, construction, small world, creative area and a
snack bar. We provide a variety of snacks on adaily basis and
our
snack bar encourages the children to be independent and make choices.
The
activities provided in these areas are child choice, we work along side
the foundation stage and birth to three matters. We are
working
towards the early years foundation stage framework, which will be
implemented as of September 2008.
We
carry out adult led activities as well as child-initiated activities.
We base our adult led activities on the development of
individual
children.
It
is important that parents, carers and children have a key role in what
they learn and enjoy, therefore we adopt/change activities to suit
individual interests.
We go on regular trips
to the park and provide outdoor opportunities on a daily basis.
Link
with parents
The children each have
a development file that contains
- Observations
- Personal information
- Children's next steps
- Early learning profile
- Development and
progression records.
Parents
are welcome to view these files at any time, parents and carers are
also welcome to spend time within the setting which provides a good
home - nursery link.
Parents receive a daily diary which gives you the opportunity to
contribute towards your child's learning experiences, parents
provide us with information on what the children enjoy at home to
ensure continuity of care.
Staff
All
childrenhave a key person that they work closely with on a
regular
basis, that key member of staff will work with your child and at times
will have one to one time with them. This person is responsible for
providing activities to meet your child's needs, interests and
development. All staff working at the Beaumont centre have a
childcare qualification, are friendly caring and welcoming.
