THE OAKS PRESCHOOL

Our fantastic Eco Lodge is home to our Preschool children and where practitioners work to support children to be ‘school ready’. The skills children have learnt through nursery allow the Preschool children to practice their independence in a safe environment. The open plan building allows children to access the different areas of continuous provision whilst also having morning numeracy and literacy activities. The nursery follows Ruth Miskin’s Read, Write Inc. https://www.ruthmiskin.com/en/programmes/phonics-nursery/. Practitioners work towards child-initiated activity allowing children to have their own ideas and choose ways to do things and most importantly enjoy when they achieve something.

Outdoor Learning

As with all the other rooms, The Oaks have their own separate play area where children benefit from a free flow environment. They can explore the different areas of learning to become inquisitive and working towards the Early Years Foundation Stage be willing to ‘have a go’.
