Moving on Up…
Our Tweenie sections are full of busy, happy and loving children aged between around 18 months and two years old.
With a staff ratio of one adult to every three children, Tweenies still require help with their care routines but are beginning to assert the need for independence. Key workers continue to play an important part of the routine in the Tweenies section with all children having the opportunity to practice social skills, develop their confidence and join in activities with other children. Of course, we also help them to find their voices!
We know that Tweenies are at a particularly busy stage of development so all toys and activities are carefully selected and frequently changed to keep even the busiest of minds and hands occupied.
Exploration and adventure is actively encouraged with sand, water and paint activities used to explore movement and texture. Construction toys, dressing up clothes and accessories are always available for ‘role play’ – Tweenies love playing house and shop.
Of course, no day in the Tweenies section is complete without plenty of singing and stories. We have an abundance of creative and noisy children who all love joining in!
