16 Months – 2 Years

Our Wrens Room provides a warm, stimulating and nurturing environment where children continue to grow in confidence, independence and curiosity. As one of our largest rooms, Wrens offers plenty of space for children to explore, play and develop through a wide range of engaging experiences and activities. At this stage, children are becoming more active, social and eager to discover the world around them. Our caring team supports communication and language development, physical development, sensory exploration and early independence, while encouraging secure relationships and confidence through play and daily routines.

Children enjoy a variety of stimulating experiences including messy play, creative activities, music, outdoor learning and imaginative play. These opportunities encourage problem solving, resilience, confidence and early friendships while allowing children to learn through exploration and discovery. Children also enjoy weekly Debutots sessions, combining sensory storytelling, music and imaginative play to encourage communication, early language development and a love of stories.

We work closely with parents to ensure each child feels safe, supported and happy during their transition from Robins Room. Children will usually move from Wrens to Sparrows during the term following their second birthday, although every transition is based on each child's individual development and readiness.

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.
