At Little Monkeys Day Nursery, the Toddler children are aged between 2 and 3 years. The Toddlers play happily alongside the Pre-School children in the following rooms:

• The Busy Room
• The Messy Room
• The Classroom

There are plenty of opportunities for the Toddler children to rest and sleep, but there a wider range of activities available throughout the day. These include:
painting, sand, water, play dough, chalking, gluing and cutting, construction, small world, jigsaws/ puzzles, books, dancing, outside play and much, much more …

As with the Under Two’s, the Toddler also go exploring the grounds around Wringford Down, gaining many valuable experiences from the fabulous surroundings of the nursery.

Our qualified and experienced team of staff work alongside the children to ensure that their day is full of fun and happiness.

Activities

All toddler activities, are planned in accordance to the Birth to Three documentation.

Potty Training

When you feel that the time is right to start the process of potty training with your child, it is our aim to work alongside you.

We will encourage your child to go on the potty/toilet at core toilet/nappy changing times. Children already in ‘pants’ will also be encouraged to use these facilities during their play. Staff will be on hand to assist your child and we do reward success on the potty/toilet.

We have found that children are keen to copy their friends, particularly the older Pre-school children. Nursery provides you with the ideal opportunity to reinforce the use of the potty/toilet.

All we ask is that you provide the nursery with ample changes of clothes and a little bit of patience.

What do I need to bring?

You will need to provide the following items:

• A named bag;
• Two changes of clothes, more if your child is still potty training;
• Disposable nappies (if applicable);
• Wellington boots for the wetter weather;
• Slippers or other indoor shoes during the winter months;
• Sun hat and sun protection during the warmer months;
• Creams and wet wipes (please see consent form);
• Labelled toothbrush.
