The large indoor and outdoor facilities at Trinity Community Nursery enable us to adjust our offerings as much as possible to the ages and developmental stages of the children in our care.
Our activities include a variety of messy and sensory play, including mark-making, puzzles, Duplo, water, sand, paint, and natural items to study. We also engage in small world play.
Our preschool room is spacious, allowing us to offer a wide selection of activity zones. Our activities mix adult-led play with child-initiated play. We make the most of the huge shared outdoor spaces and our dedicated preschool garden.
Mid-morning snacks of fruit, cheese, oatcakes, or crackers, together with a beverage of milk or water, are served in all of our rooms, and we encourage independence by allowing self-serving and food selections. Children that stay over lunchtime are provided with lunch, and we invite all of the kids to participate in selecting the meal.
We have seven different outside spaces, and many of them can be opened up to create a sizable free-flow area. There are also hard surfaces for wheels, a bark area with a mud kitchen, a floor-level tree house, balance beams, and a sandpit, a mud kitchen area, and a water wall area with a hand water pump. The first of these is grass with dens, a slide, climbing tyres, planting and digging areas, and a small world play area.
Our outdoor approach aims to give kids a rich setting where they can plan, experiment, imagine, create, anticipate, measure, compute, and observe, and that's just to name a few things.
