Welcome to Little Buds

(2 Year Old Provision)

A child’s third year is a time of huge change: the experience is similar to adolescence in that it is transitional. In the same way that adolescence stands between childhood and adulthood, two year-olds are moving from the total dependence of babyhood to the more independent, mobile world of preschoolers. At this age children are exploring their powers to communicate, to move purposely, to assert their independence and individuality, and to control their important bodily functions.

We provide the manageable challenges and relaxed environment that two to three year olds need. Staff understand the frequent changes in moods, interests, and capabilities and provide calm, consistent care and supportive teaching.

We currently have a high demand for places in Little Buds so please ensure you have filled out an admission form to be placed on our waiting list.

The Little Bud's Room is located in the Infant building of our school.

Session times:

Morning session: 8:45am-11:45am

Afternoon session: 12:30pm-3:15pm

For those children who require all day, parents must provide a packed lunch or can pay for a school meal which costs £2.00 per day.
