All Inclusive Activities

All children are naturally curious, questioning and eager to learn and to encourage this curiosity the team at Cradle2Crayon Nursery School carefully organise timetables full of different activities every day. We also ensure that there is a balance between structured play and learning alongside child-led activities, where children can choose what they want to do. One thing is for certain: the more variety there is on offer, the more your child will learn, and the more they will enjoy it! Each room has zones to enjoy different activities. These include:
  • Messy area
  • Painting and drawing
  • Floor play
  • Exploring
  • Independent play, with jigsaws, books and board games
  • Educational visits

Children in Nursery Room enjoy a broader range of more challenging activities as they prepare for school. Structured individual learning plans ensure they are each making strong progress towards the Early Learning Goals alongside planning devised for each child every week to give all children at Boys & Girls get the best possible foundation for learning.

As well as providing all the activities you would expect we also offer all-inclusive activities including phonics, music and movement and cooking sessions.

We believe these activities should be enjoyed by all children and are therefore provided at no extra cost.

Music and movement sessions offers a fun and interactive physical workout for babies and toddlers incorporating music, bubbles and lights so even our youngest babies can join in.

Our Phonics sessions open a world of Literacy to children and teach early phonics skills. Our classes include games and activities that teach sound recognition, alliteration and oral blending and segmenting the necessary foundations for reading and writing. The high energy class also includes activities to improve gross and fine motor skills which support a child’s handwriting. Sessions are delivered weekly to our older Pre-Schoolers and the learning is brought back into the room and incorporated into our weekly activities.
