Caterpillas Under 5’s

Welcome to our settingWhen you get

here you’ll

come through this door

Come in inside and lets have a

look

How old are you? If you’re in Grasshoppers or Butterflies you’ll come

in through the big roomThis is our Big room, it is split up into different areas.When you come in there will be activities out for you to play with to help you settle.

This is where we hang our coats up and leave

our bags; remember you need to have your name

in them so they don’t get lost.

Let us show you around our Big RoomThis is the role-play

area, there’s always a fun environment for

you to act out your life experiences with your

friends.There’s lots of dressing

up clothes too!

We love to make music, songs and dance

We serve ourselves in our cafe style snack

area.

Welcome to our Discovery Zone

This is the Art corner and there is lots to do; you could paint, or stick, play with playdough, water or sand to name but a few.

Every child gets a named draw, so their creations

stay safe.

Our latest addition is Oliver’s House, named after a very special little boy; this sensory delight is the perfect place to chill out and unwind.

If you’re in Ladybirds or Dragonflies you’ll come in through the quiet room, it tends to be a little calmer.

This is where we draw and colour, you could write your

name or a letter to Mum or Dad.

This is the book

corner, you can

sit quietly and read

a book.Maybe you’d prefer to listen to a story tape, we have lots.

In our maths/ICT area there’s lots to do, puzzles, games and computer programmes all designed for you.

We have snuggly areas right the way through

the setting.

Our Senco uses this area for her Derbyshire Language and confidence groups.

Dragonflies have their own special space that the bigger groups aren’t allowed in.

There is always lots of fun with a sensory boat and soft play toys, mirrors to see what our faces do when we smile

We even have lots of toys we can access ourselves, and we still use all the other

areas that the big boys and girls do.

We have our nappies changed in a private area in the room.

Some of the different areas, lets take a peek!

We encourage you to use the toilet by yourself but there is lots of help for those that need it.

All the toilets are numbered to help you learn your numbers.

The sinks are down low to make it easy to wash

your hands.

Some of the different areas, lets take a peek!

We all share the garden; there is lots of room for running about, a road for riding our bikes, a climbing frame with a slide on it and lots

of other things.
