Parents are actively involved in their child's learning journey, with regular updates and opportunities to contribute to their child's progress records. Our ethos At Tiddlers we follow the ethos ‘learning through play’. Each child is allocated a keyperson who is responsible for overseeing the learning and development of each child. They will observe and talk to the child, noting their interests, likes and dislikes and their stage of development. The keyperson then uses this information, along with any information gathered from home, parents or other nursery staff to plan a range of fun and exciting learning opportunities specifically designed to aid the learning and development of that child. What it's like Children are confident, content, busy and happy. They happily explore the play environments, both indoors and outdoors, moving equipment from inside to outside to extend their experiences.
