Scampering Squirrels (Toddlers)
In Scampering Squirrels we can look after up to 12 toddlers
Our practice is based on a programme called the Early Years Foundation Stage. This is a framework to support children in their earliest years. It provides information on child development, effective practice, examples of play activities to promote play and learning, guidance on planning and resourcing and meeting diverse needs.
