The Tweenie room can hold a maximum of 20 children in a day,
with an age range varying from 18 months to 30
months old. The ratio for Tweenies can be dependent on the age
range as children are a mixture of under 2s which is 1 adult to
every 3 children and over 2s which is 1 adult to every 4 children.
All staff have a minimum of a Level 3 qualification with an
apprentice who has great support from the team on working towards
her Level 3 qualification.
We provide varied learning
experiences and lots of fun within a safe and happy environment.
Your child's daily programme includes more variety
of activities now such as: jigsaws, modelling,
singing, dancing and listening to stories, rhymes and toilet
training (dependent upon the individual child)!
We like to encourage children to choose their own
activities so that they can become more independent, it also gives
us a chance to learn about their individual likes/dislikes and
interests. Currently the Tweenie children are really enjoying their
experiences in our outdoor play area. Dependent on the
weather we can spend most of the day outside exploring and learning
lots on our great adventures. The setting has all resources to
support all children whatever the weather from sun hats and wellies
to all in one waterproof outfits. This enables the rooms to make
the most of our outdoors area.
The Tweenie room concentrates on:
- Children's social and interaction skills
- Dealing with our emotions
- Behaving appropriately at meal times.
The room has a total of 5 keyworkers which work closely with the
children enabling the children to reach thier full
potential.
Our team work to achieve such goals previously stated by
giving all the children opportunities to:
- Provide a wide variety of activities that encourages children
to explore all of their senses
- Providing experiences of creativity
- Providing lots of messy play
- Providing opportunities for easy access to drinking
water throughout the day
- Support and encourage individuallity.
"Please"

"More"
Bolton School Nursery is proud to say that we are a
fully affiliated Sing and Sign Nursery. This is a
great form of communication which is sometimes used by
individuals who may find it difficult to communicate the
needs/interest views verbally. Tweenies staff use "Sing & Sign"
at every possible opportunity such as song time, at meal times,
nappy changing times etc and the children love every minute of
it.
"All Gone"
The setting offers a number of extra curricular activities which
are focused on particular age ranges and rooms. Tweenies room have
music and movement sessions called "Kids Rock", these are
available to the children once a month. As you can imagine we have
great fun experiencing all different kinds of sounds giving
children instruments to freely "Rock" and enjoy such moments with
their friends and key workers. Chris who is the coordinator is
fantastic with the children and even uses sign language promoting
communication with all children.
For more information please see the Extra Curricular
activities page where you will find an in depth information page
regarding each indiviudal session offered by the nursery.
