 Baby Room ( 3 Months - 18 Months)

Nurturing Spaces for Every Stage of Development at Sunny Socks Nursery School

At Sunny Socks, we provide thoughtfully designed rooms tailored to support every child's individual development.

Upstairs, our baby room offers a safe and comforting space for up to 12 babies each day. A dedicated team of qualified practitioners provides attentive care, ensuring that every baby receives the nurturing support they need throughout the week.

Daily outdoor time is an essential part of their experience, whether it's exploring the nursery gardens or heading out for a stroll in the fresh air. To keep them comfortable in any weather, we provide all-in-one suits for babies and toddlers, along with pushchairs for those who need them.

Our facilities are designed to encourage exploration and independence in a secure and welcoming environment. With purpose-built furniture, babies and toddlers can freely access toys that capture their curiosity and spark joy.

Throughout the room, we create engaging spaces that evolve regularly—cosy corners for quiet time, book corners for early literacy, musical stations for creative expression, and messy play for hands-on discovery. A favourite among little explorers is our baby gym, where children of all abilities can safely navigate steps and enjoy the slide, building confidence and coordination along the way.

 Toddlers and Pre-school ( 18 Months - 4 years )

Downstairs at Sunny Socks, our spaces are thoughtfully divided into groups, ensuring children receive age-appropriate support and opportunities for learning and play.

Our indoor environment features two spacious playrooms, a cosy sensory room, and a large, bright craft room—all designed to inspire curiosity and creativity. Resources are carefully selected to be open-ended and easily accessible, allowing children to explore and engage at their own pace. Additional facilities include a dedicated kitchen, toilets, and a nappy-changing area, ensuring comfort and convenience for every child.

We believe in fostering independence while offering guidance and encouragement. Children can choose to play independently, collaborate with peers, or take part in engaging adult-led activities. Our play-based experiences are linked to the EYFS framework, with enriching stations for role play, early maths, writing, and loose parts play. Spaces for calm play and reading provide a well-rounded environment that supports learning in a fun and natural way.

Beyond our doors, children have access to an expansive garden that offers boundless opportunities for free play and discovery, including an all-weather astro-turfed area.

Our outdoor space is designed to ignite curiosity and exploration, featuring an allotment, a charming playhouse, a water station, an art easel, and a magical story area nestled beneath the trees. With climbing apparatus, swings, and engaging mud kitchens, children are encouraged to play, create, and collaborate with their peers.

At the back of the garden, our paddock is home to cows, horses and chickens, providing a unique opportunity for children to observe and interact with nature. As they journey through the farm and countryside on guided walks, they learn about animals, plants, and farm life—experiences filled with fresh air and, of course, plenty of puddle jumping!

Each group is supported by a dedicated team of five experienced staff members, delivering high-quality care and education to every child, ensuring they feel valued, nurtured, and excited to learn.
