Age Group: 4 weeks to 18 months
The nursery has two rooms, for Gumnuts (4 weeks – 12 months) and Possums (12-18 months). The playrooms are large and airy and children sleep in small monitored rooms (1-2 children per room). There is a separate garden for outdoor play.
The emotional, physical and social needs of small children are met tenderly in our nursery. This section is managed by long-standing members of staff with wide experience in child rearing practises for this age group. Children of this age are starting to learn about themselves the world around them. They learn through their senses and spend much of the day exploring – feeling different textures, hearing sounds, seeing things, smelling and tasting new things for the very first time. The Nursery staff tailor learning programs to meet the individual needs of the children based on their interests and developmental level. They provide a wide range of resources and equipment to encourage the children to explore their environment and expand their knowledge.
Children move from the Nursery to the Toddlers section of the Centre.
