Squirrels
2-3 Years Old
The Squirrels enjoy a stimulating environment, with carefully planned experiences, games and teaching activities which enable each child to learn, discover, explore and make friends. Each child has a key worker who carefully monitors progress and development. By providing a broad range of activities, we cater for your child's physical, intellectual, educational, social and language needs, instilling children with confidence in their own abilities.
