FROM messy areas and amather' ma tic s corner to role plVy and reading - it is all child’s play for the, T id d le rs and Toddlers ia t a Clitheroe nursery.


■ : ;y :


year, the childcare centre in West View , now has even more space to entertain up to 40 pre-school children on a full­ time or part-time basis. ■ . .-'-f'' ■


Open five days a week, 51 weeks a ■ ■ Under the leadership of proprietor’'


•Mrs Julie Tennant, the highly-motir • vated team at Tiddlers and Toddlers aims to provide a professional childcare service of the highest quality in a happy, caring and secure establish­ ment, where youngsters’ social, physi-; cal and intellectual needs are devel­ oped.


, . A warm family welcome awaits at


the nursery, where the 11 qualified and trained members of staff are on hand, to take care of their small charges,and provide a .home-from-home;envirqn7 ■; ment. Staff-tb-children ratios are often :i in excess of the legal requirements placed on the dedicated childcare cen­ tre. Prom 7-30 every weekday morning


to 6 in the evenings, the emphasis is on learning through play, with sand, water, paint, music and computer skills all on the curriculum. From April 1st this year every three


and four-year-old in the Ribble Valley will be entitled to 12-and-a-half hours free pre-school education and Tiddlers and Toddlers has already arranged its own daily timetable to take into account this change, with two sessioi each day specifically aimea at these youngsters. A daily programme, packed with


observation of the children allows staff to work to individual needs. To ensure every childcare practition^


challenging but achievable activitii awaits each child. And every Tiddler and Toddler is encouraged to reach their own individual potential by developing their intellectual, language and physical skills, as well as enabling their social and emotional capability to flourish. Individual assessment and dail


er provides the most up-to-date meth­ ods of pre-school teaching, every mem­ ber of the nursery’s staff follows their own professional development pro­ gramme, with expert tuition and regu­ lar reviews built in. Every day at Tiddlers and Toddlers


is meticulously planned down to the last detail, with two specific sessions daily aimed at fulfilling the require­ ments of the Foundation Stage cur­ riculum.


LEARNING is fun at the Tiddlers And Toddlers Nursery (C270103/2b) For the Tiddlers - those under the


age of three - the emphasis is on well-. planned play, but spontaneity is not only supported but actively encour­ aged. As well as helping the tiny tots make


sense of the world around them, team members encourage them to communi­ cate easily and freely with their peers, while not curtailing their creativity


and allowing them to develop their imaginations. From the ages of three to five, the


■ valued member of the centre’s child- friendly community New experiences such as question­


development of self-image and self­ esteem is at the forefront of the cur­ riculum, with the nursery’s childcare . practitioners working in partnership with parents and carers to ensure they cater for individual needs and achieve-


ing, experimenting, repeating, reflect­ ing enable the Toddlers to extend their skills and allow their confidence to develop. And education assessors from Ofst- ed ensure the highest standards are


ments, enabling each child to become a maintained to help children achieve


the nationally-set early learning goals. This learning also extends to the


kitchen, where both Tiddlers and Tod­ dlers are encouraged to take part in weekly baking sessions, providing tea for the rest of their nursery friends. From the Tiddlers to the Toddlers, gaining a place at the childcare centre in West View would be a good catch for any Ribble Valley parent.


__ and here is what those T i^


Toddlers have to say WE asked some of the children why they liked the nursery.


Here are their answers. ■ Abigail - likes to build towers and enjoys baking ■ Daniel - likes playing on the computer and doing French ■ William R - likes to play with the farm ■ William W - hkes to play on the bikes outside ■ Tabatha - likes to go on walks and trips to the library ■ Madeleine - likes to paint at nursery ■ Charlotte - likes to sing when Duncan comes to play the gui­


tar for us ■ Matthew I - likes to paint ■ Jenna - likes to play ■ Morgan - likes to play with the cars
