Our Rooms

The Baby Room is split into three areas, a baby area, the wobbler room, and the messy room.

For non-mobile babies, we have a dedicated room that is calming yet stimulating and provides sensory areas to help stimulate brain development and encourage cognitive growth. 

For mobile babies, we have a fun learning environment for children aged 12 months – 2 years. This is where children will become more confident in exploring the resources and using the physical equipment provided. 

Our Messy Room is designed to be a space where children are naturally curious to investigate and explore. It is full of intriguing resources which they love to get involved in. We also have a great range of activities including painting, water tray fun and tuff tray activities!

We understand the importance of meeting developmental milestones from an early age and aim to achieve this through the use of natural and stimulating resources. 

The staff who work in the Baby Rooms are fantastic at creating opportunities for development. They are also incredibly loving and nurturing and give the babies all the attention they need.

The Toddler room offers a spacious and fun area for active 2 year olds. The room is designed in a way that encourages children to choose the areas they want to play in and have the opportunity to freely move from one activity to another. 

A small room is located within the Toddler room for those children who enjoy having a little quiet time to read a book or simply to have a rest throughout the day.

At this age it is important that children learn to express their own emotions and gain independence. We encourage children to start dressing themselves and at mealtimes we offer buffet snacks where the children can independently choose their food - all of course with adult support. 

Nap time for Toddlers is between 12 – 2pm each day in a calm and relaxing atmosphere where they are allocated their own bed and linen. Comforters are welcomed for sleep time.

We provide preschool day care for children between 3-5 years to help them prepare for school.

We have two playgroups within this age group.

A Junior playgroup for pre-pre school children.

A Senior government-funded playgroup for pre-school children.

Both playgroups run in the morning only, but we offer wraparound care for those parents requiring full-time support.

Within our Senior Playgroup, we offer Government Funded Pre-School places. 

Established in 2004, our professionally trained pre-school team has an excellent understanding of how to support children in reaching their full potential whilst following the Northern Ireland Pre-school Curriculum set out by the Education Authority. 

The children are guided and helped by caring, enthusiastic, capable, and well-trained staff who understand the fundamental importance of learning through play. 

For many children, playgroup will be their first experience of a learning environment with other children and with an educator other than their parents.

The impression which your child forms at this stage will influence the way in which they respond to all future schooling and education.

It is therefore vitally important that your child is educated by a pre-school setting that is funded and inspected by the Education Authority.

Make sure to take this into account when considering pre-school options for your child. 

We will ensure that your child gets the individual care and attention they need to make this a happy and lasting first experience.
