Early Years Lead Practitioner Apprenticeship - Level 5

Level 5 Early Years Lead Practitioner Apprenticeship – Tiny Oaks Day Nursery

Shoots Training are looking for an enthusiastic, reliable and hardworking individual to complete their Level 5 Early Years Lead Practitioner Apprenticeship at Tiny Oaks Day Nursery, Edenbridge.

Here at Tiny Oaks our rooms have been designed and structured to offer a safe and secure environment for your little one to develop and learn through play.The nursery provides facilities for children aged from 3 months through to pre-school age and is registered as GOOD with Ofsted.

We have dedicated rooms for our various age ranges and each room reflects the seven areas of learning, as prescribed in the Early Years Foundation Stage. All of our facilities are designed to be accessible to every child

Our fees are inclusive of freshly prepared breakfast, lunch, tea, snacks and drinks. Daily menus are carefully selected by a professional nutritionist to meet energy requirements of growing children.

Pre School children also follow the ‘Early Years Foundation Stage’. We support them and prepare them for their eventual move from day nursery to school. This is a more settled routine, with children working in small groups.

Through our observations of children learning through play, we are able to introduce adult led activities that follow the interest of individual children, linking them to the seven areas of learning:

⦁ communication and language

⦁ physical development

⦁ personal social and emotional development

⦁ literacy

⦁ mathematics

⦁ understanding of the world

⦁ expressive arts and design

The children have open access to the garden every day (free flow) from their room and complete a lot of their daily activities outside through choice. The garden also reflect the areas of learning and allows problem solving on a grander scale.
