Our Over-2s Room
Our over-2s room is an engaging, thoughtfully organised space where children can make choices, develop independence and learn through purposeful play with friends.

Learning through choice
Children are encouraged to choose resources, develop their own ideas and return to interests over time. Accessible storage and clearly arranged areas help them become increasingly independent.
Practitioners observe carefully and extend children’s play with conversation, new materials and experiences that are meaningful to them.
