Rubies (2-3yrs)
Our children start in our Rubies Room once they reach the age of 2, and they remain within this room until they are ready to transition into our Emerald Room which is normally around the age of 3. We follow the Early Year’s Foundation Stage and within this room, our daily circle and story time activities play an important part in our children’s literacy development as well as their communication, listening and understanding skills. During these times a member of our team will share familiar songs, rhymes, poems, stories and games.
Our room environment has interactive, low level displays are around the room to introduce shapes, numbers, letters and colours and easy access boxes to enable children to explore and experiment with a variety of resources within their play. Each child is allocated a key worker who share information with the parents on a daily basis and at parents evening which we hold twice yearly. The key worker is responsible for monitoring your child’s development through monthly professional judgements and observations.
Children will build both confidence and relationships during their time in the Rubies Room. Independence is encouraged and children are shown how to brush their teeth after meals and how to manage their own personal hygiene more effectively, washing faces and hands independently. As the children become ready to move up into the Emeralds Room, staff are on hand to support parents and liase regarding the implementation of toilet training and possibly reducing daytime naps.
Physical play is an important part of development. Music and movement sessions are a regular feature of the day, and we also enjoy trips out into our local community and accessing our outdoor play area throughout their nursery day.
