In our Fledglings Barn we care for children from 2 years of age, this is on the ground floor of the building across two rooms. We have a carpeted room with twinkle ceiling which we also use for resting/nap times after lunch. Our other room is more suited for messy play. Our room offers resources which cover all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). 

Please see below our routine and how we plan for the children whilst they are with us.
