Snuggle & Grow

Our baby room offers a friendly, warm and caring atmosphere, with plenty of comfort and cuddles as each baby has a trained member of staff work closely with them to ease them into nursery life and to communicate with parents to make Ambrose nursery a home from home.

 

Babies are competent learners from birth and we aim to develop, stimulate and encourage each child by introducing your baby to a variety of experiences, involving all the senses, within their nursery environment.

No two days are the same with all the fun packed activities our staff have to offer; from painting pictures and making their marks, to getting messy in the cornflour.

Through play we aim to develop a wide range of your child's skills, celebrating both their attempts and their achievements to give them confidence in themselves to reach their goals.

Babies have their own routines and in our baby room we value these, we offer flexibility to cater for each individual child's needs.

Little Explorers

This room is full of fun where our toddlers come to learn, explore, create and make new friends. The children are encouraged to make their own decisions and have independence; from getting ready for toilet training, cleaning their own hands, enjoying meal times to feeding themselves and gaining lifelong interpersonal skills.

 

Activities that our Little Explorers enjoy include Natural Play with shells and sand; Malleable Play, getting messy with the blue spaghetti and making their own playdough; Role Play in the home corner and dressing up, Art's and Craft's and Baking; and Outdoor Play in our new all weather shelters, activity centre and the back yard has plenty of room to scoot around on the bicycles and cars.

The children in this room have routines which help them gain a sense of order in the world and anticipate events.

Sunshine Room

Spontaneous activities within the foundation stage are encouraged as learning is all about fun. Children are involved in planning their next day's activities, following themes that interest them. Through play our trained staff support the children to explore, learn and enjoy their time in nursery.
