Under 2 Unit

Under 2s

Our Under 2 provision is thoughtfully designed to give every child the very best start. We have two dedicated rooms that support children at different stages of development:

Babies (0–18 months)

Our Baby Room provides a calm, nurturing and secure environment where our youngest children feel safe, loved and supported. We understand that every baby is unique, so we work closely with parents to follow each child’s individual routines, including feeding, sleeping and care, ensuring a smooth transition between home and nursery.

Our experienced and caring practitioners create meaningful opportunities for babies to explore through sensory play, music, stories, treasure baskets and age-appropriate resources that encourage curiosity and early development. We celebrate every milestone and share these special moments with families through regular observations and communication.

Tiddlers (18 months–2 years)

As children become more confident and independent, they move into our Tiddlers Room. This welcoming environment encourages exploration, discovery and growing independence while continuing to provide the comfort and security young children need.

Through carefully planned continuous provision, children are free to investigate, revisit favourite activities and follow their own interests. Our practitioners extend learning through play, supporting communication and language, physical development, creativity, early problem-solving and positive relationships.

Learning Through Play

Across both rooms, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, using children’s interests and developmental stages to plan engaging experiences that inspire learning every day. Our environments are carefully planned to support exploration, imagination and confidence, helping children develop at their own pace.

Outdoor learning is an important part of daily life. Whether babies are enjoying sensory experiences in the fresh air or toddlers are developing their physical skills through climbing, balancing, running and exploring, our outdoor spaces provide exciting opportunities to learn beyond the classroom.

Working in Partnership with Families

Building strong relationships with families is at the heart of everything we do. Every child has a dedicated Key Person who takes time to get to know them as an individual, supporting their emotional wellbeing and development while maintaining regular communication with parents. We believe that by working together, we can provide the consistency, care and encouragement that helps every child thrive.

Our high staff-to-child ratios ensure that every child receives the individual attention, care and support they deserve throughout their early years journey.
