UNDER 2s Welcome to Swannanoa Nursery, we are licensed for 10 under two's and have a ratio of one teacher to three children. These small numbers allow us to provide a caring calm environment. Daily Programme We offer a range of experiences and activities in all curriculum areas. These include water, paint, playdough, puzzles, books, music and an excellent range of educational toys. Outside we have a lovely play structure, sand pit, swings and lots of space to practice walking, running, jumping and bike riding. We cater for the interests, and developmental needs of each individual child. All this activity takes place in a safe, fun and caring learning environment. Daily Notebooks All nursery children have their own notebook. This book is used as a communication aid between teachers and parents so you know when your child slept and for how long, the number of nappy changes and the special things your child has done today. Learning Journals At Swannanoa Nursery, each child will receive a learning journal; this is a special book for teachers, parents and children to contribute to. Teachers observe and recognise the special moments in your child's life and capture these with photos and learning stories. This is a lovely book to share with your child now and in years to come. Transitioning to the Over Two's We have a very effective programme in place to ensure a smooth transition for our children turning two. Each child receives several visits to the over twos before their second birthday. During these visits, your child is helped to learn the new routines and encouraged to explore the new environment. The low partition between the preschool and nursery offers familiarity with the preschool environment and teachers. We look forward to meeting and working alongside you and your children.
