At Heatherton Preschool we follow the birth to five matters document to assess and observe the children. We offer activities to cover the seven areas of learning which are as follows:

​

Personal, social and emotional development (children learn how to make friends, be confident, share and take turns)

Communication and language (children learn how to listen and pay attention, have a good understanding and learn new words)

Physical development (learning how to use gross and fine motor skill, be independent in toileting issues and dressing themselves, washing hands)

Mathematics (children learn to count, recognise numbers and shapes, measure, sort and understand sizes)

Literacy (learning to read and write)

Understanding the world (learning about the world they live in, caring for small insects and growing plants)

Expressive arts and design (enjoying craft activities, joining in with singing, dancing and rhymes)

​

​

Our routine consists of arriving at preschool and enjoying free play, morning exercise, outdoor play, snack time, group times, physical activities, singing and story time, lunch time.

Children that stay for lunch will require a packed lunch, the preschool provides a snack and free milk. 

All children bring a beaker from home with water in it, which they have access to all through the session.

If your child is still in nappies, we will require you to send nappies each day for changing and spare clothes in case of accidents.
