Little Smarties Nursery & Preschool staffing ratios comply with the UK's Children's Act Regulations and the guidelines set by OFSTED in the UK.

Throughout the nursery the stuff uses the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum to guide the practices with the children. The nursery is divided into different age groups. The age indication is an estimate, and depending on each child's progress in all aspects, he/she may be advanced into the next class under the Principals and Teachers discretion.

Classrooms:

Baby/Bunnies - 2 months to 18 months. The Baby Rooms are the facilities to take the best care of a limited number of babies in the nursery. The management have carefully selected all staff, not only for their qualified status, but also for their experience and dedication to childcare practices, motivation and their caring and sensitive attitude to both children and parents.

Toddling Teddies/TwinklingTurtles/Gentle Giraffes/Precious Pandas - 1.5 years to 2.5 years. Young children are very keen, observant, curious and interested in trying new things. The curriculum introduces academic concepts like colours, shapes, numbers and the phonic-sounds. These concepts are presented and taught within the children's level of understanding and are built up progressively throughout the school year. The 2 year old's curriculum also includes sensory and repetitive activities for their development.

Buzzing Bees/Lively Ladybirds/Dazzlin Dolphins - 2.5 years to 3 years. At this age, the children are sent on a voyage of discovery and the teachers hope they will find it exciting, absorbing and inspiring! Teachers encourage the development of the children's self-esteem, confidence in themselves and their own abilities and independence. The children are encouraged to identify common objects and speak in three to five word sentences to communicate their needs. The curriculum incorporates music, arts and crafts and dramatic play, to shape the children's creativity and imagination.

Fuzzy Foxes/Cuddly Camels - 3 years to 4 years. The mission is to provide a rich and joyous learning environment that will stimulate the children's minds, nurture their souls and embrace the wonder and beauty of the world. The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum is designed to nurture a child's multiple intelligences. The Nursery provides a holistic approach to educating the child. As the children get older they are becoming more and more active with increasing skills in different areas of their development. The class focuses on preparing children for the 'big school', through encouraging our 'learning through play' curriculum.
