Our baby room is uniquely designed to create a safe, calm stimulating environment for baby to build strong secure relationship with their key person. Our key person approach is a way to ensure that all children and families have one or more persons within the setting with whom they have a special, nurturing relationship. The presence of a key person helps your child to feel emotionally secure when away from home and provides a reassuring point of contact for both parents. Your key person will keep you informed throughout the day of care routines, activities and Assessments on your child’s Makaton, Baby massage.

At Ellie's Nurseries, we recognise that being two should be an exciting time of exploration, curiosity, and adventure. Across our early years settings, our environments for two-year-olds have been designed to support children to feel safe, loved and to thrive, in order that they can meet their potential: emotionally, intellectually, and physically. How we do this? Strong early years provision consists of positive interactions, enabling environments, high-quality resources and routines that support learning. Therefore, our Thriving Twos environment is carefully planned in a meaningful and purposeful way.

Our educators work closely with local schools to ensure a seamless transition and many of our activities at this stage revolve around ‘transition preparation’. At this age, educators allow children the space to invent ways of independently taking on tasks and preparing for their day. Carefully planned days focus on different areas of interest for your child to investigate and provide opportunities to develop skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths (STEAM). Bespoke experiences support communication, social, and physical abilities to equip your child for the next phase of life and learning. Our Preschool rooms offer real-life resources that encourage your child to solve problems and develop complex role-play skills. Educators are tuned in with your child’s development, identifying their strengths and working with them on areas to improve, ensuring a seamless transition to school.

Unlocking Learning Through Sensory Exploration Our Sensory Rooms provides a stimulating environment where children can investigate, explore, and absorb information through curiosity-led play. By engaging in open-ended discovery, children develop essential skills such as independence, concentration, fine motor skills, and imagination, while also building a foundation for early mathematical concepts. Sensory play enhances cognitive development, supports emotional regulation, and encourages a deeper connection to the world around them, making it a powerful tool in their learning journey.
