2 – 3 Years

Our Sparrows Room is a welcoming and stimulating environment where toddlers develop their confidence, curiosity and growing independence. Children are encouraged to explore a wide range of resources and activities that support imagination, creativity and their individual interests.

Throughout the day, children enjoy experiences across all areas of learning, including construction, role play, creative arts, music, early maths and early literacy. These opportunities help build confidence, communication and social skills while supporting children's natural desire to learn through play.

This stage is also an important part of children's independence journey. We gently support self-help skills and work closely with families to support toilet training when children are ready. Children enjoy a balance of child-led and adult-led activities, both indoors and outdoors, with staff supporting each child's individual learning style.

Children will usually move to the Owls Room during the term following their third birthday, with each transition carefully planned to ensure they feel confident and settled in their new environment.

Rising 3’s at The Study Nursery

Children will progress to Sparrows the during the academic year that they turn three years old.

A continuation of our Wrens, our Sparrows promotes endless possibilities. Filled with resources to further support learning opportunities, our Sparrows are well supported to discover how to use their imagination, build on their own interests, and express their own ideas. Daily opportunities to explore all areas of learning from construction to role play, creative art and music, early maths and literacy, continue to build each child’s confidence, independence and social skills. We also continue to focus on effective communication and language skills.

As with Wrens, our Sparrows spend time learning through play both indoors and out and we will support your child’s eagerness to learn through a balanced blend of adult-led and child-led activities and play. We recognise the uniqueness of each Sparrow in our care, and the teachers who know them well will be on hand to engage each child in their own individual style of learning. By the end of their ‘Nursery’ journey, our Sparrows will be fully equipped to embark on their pre-school journey in Owls.

From engaging arts and crafts sessions that unleash their creativity to interactive story times that spark a love for literature, each day brings a unique blend of educational and entertaining experiences. Our dedicated team ensures a nurturing environment where toddlers explore, discover, and thrive, making each day a stepping stone in their early childhood education.
