Activities

At The Jays Day Care Nursery it is our aim to develop your child's physical, intellectual, emotional and social development through the use of 'In the moment planning', carefully incorporating your child's interests and extending their knowledge through activities they enjoy.  We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage ensuring all areas of learning are incorporated.  Our observations, assessments, photo's and video's are recorded via a secure on-line journal for parents to access at their leisure.  

In the moment planning ensures each child is treated as an individual and as such is given the opportunity to participate in activities of their own choice as well as those organised by the staff.
These are some of our activities:

• Pre-reading and pre-writing skills
