Bluebells
The daily routine is planned and offers a wide selection of opportunities for toddlers to explore, investigate and learn in a safe, stimulating place. There are plenty of opportunities for toddlers to paint, draw and engage in a wide range of creative activities, and in quieter moments there is time to look at books, sensory equipment or complete jigsaws. The routine promotes independent learning and encourages children to socialise with others.
