A spacious extension to the original building, which accommodates babies and toddlers up to 18 months of age. There is an enclosed, safe grassed play area that runs parallel with the building and a playscape safety surface for toddlers to practice their walking, and plenty of grass to crawl, run and roll around. 

As you would expect, we have a relaxed play ethos for the babies, while the toddlers activities are a little more structured. We encourage the children to interact with their little friends, practicing turn taking and sharing as they develop. 

This room caters for children from 18 to 30 months. The age range in each room is not set in stone as all children are individuals, we like to be flexible as this is very often dictated by each child's individual development. The transition from room to room generally takes place when each child is ready to move up and only after consultation with you, the parents.

From the moment children arrive there will be a real choice of organised activities that varies throughout the year, we offer a wide range of age appropriate resources to stimulate and encourage your child's learning.

Another lovely big room, again lots of roll play, toys and resources are always available for the children to choose from. The daily routine in Sam Tan is a little more structured to help their development in readiness for Primary school. For example; the children are encouraged to interact during 'circle time' where they each take turns to speak to the group each morning.

We feel it important to encourage the children to accept small jobs like handing out the waterbottles and cutlery at meal time, as this contributes to the development of emotional health, wellbeing and relationships.
