Quality childcare for Toddlers 2-3 years

When I arrive I will be encouraged to find my picture, choose a peg for the day and hang up my coat and bag.  When all of my friends have arrived to I will join them to start the session, my key person will help me count the children to see who is in nursery today. I will talk about the weather and wait for my turn to talk about myself. I will sing our hello song with my friends and count how many children are there in nursery today.  

I can play outside whenever I want to, I can choose to be inside too.  Theres lots to do and lots to choose from which can be tiring, I may need to have a little rest in the cosy area so I will need my comforters just in case.

I am allowed to do things for myself, I can help my friends collect the snack trolley from the kitchen, cut my own fruit with the special knives designed for little hands.  If I need help doing things for myself like using the toilet, washing my hands, replacing things where they belong after I've finished, my key person is always there to support me. 

I sit with my friends and my key person to talk about how we feel, we talk about how to use kind hands and care for each other.  We share with each other if we've enjoyed ourselves and learn how what to do in difficult situations.

When I am ready I am allowed to use the bathroom by myself, I have to ask first so that my key person knows where I am this helps to keep me safe.  Caterpillars staff are always there if I need some help, I can open the gates myself and close them behind me.  Until then, my keyperson will help me when I need it.  

I can display work that I'm proud of to show you when you come to collect me, I can take my work home the same day too as my key person will take a photograph of it for parent zone.  I get lots of praise and encouragement for all of my efforts, I sometimes get a stamp on my hand or a sticker to show you.

I can choose to play inside or outside whenever I want to.  Most of my friends love to play outside all day, nursery will provide me with an all weather suit, all I will need is some warm clothes and wellies but you will need to take these home as theres lots of pairs.  If it is sunny I will need suncream on and to bring a sun hat.

I will need my name in all of my clothes so they don't get lost.  Many of my friends have the same clothes as me and sometimes when we are doing things for ourselves they can get mixed up.  There is a lost property shelf in the corridor which gets emptied on 15th of every month so please remember to rescue anything I've lost as these go in our clothes bank.
