Wallaby & Koala Room

Welcome to the Koala Room

In our 9 place baby unit we have a created a warm, pleasant environment, which benefits from having its own quiet area where babies can sleep and play in comfort. Our more active babies can crawl and explore in our stimulating environment. All babies learn through interaction and being able to investigate the world around them so staff provide a range of activities and opportunities that promote and support this through the current government guidelines.

In our room we love messy play and exploring our senses with natural objects. We enjoy making noise time through our song, rhyme and musical instruments. Come rain or shine you will find us outside in our specially equipped garden. After a fun filled time we like to get cosy and comfortable in our quiet area and spend quality time reading and relaxing.

Meet the Staff:

Kristy - Senior Practitioner

I love to organise a wide and varied choice of activities for the babies that will develop their experiences and learning. I especially love to be outside with the children and spend my time interacting with them. They bring so much to the room that each day is different and it is a pleasure to be involved in their development. I always ensure that we follow the routine that the parents have agreed with us, maintaining the babies security and comfort whilst having fun throughout the day.

Ruth – Childcare Assistant

My favourite activities are the sand and water play, I love spending time with the children both inside and outside watching and helping them learn through play. I support the children to settle in when they are new to the nursery and to learn about their individual needs and personalities.

Rob – Childcare Assistant

I have a very calm way with the children and listen to their needs. I love getting out and about with the babies when we go on visits to the aquarium or the park. It’s great to watch them grow and develop into their own individual personalities.

Welcome to the Wallaby Room

Our 12 place room for children aged 2-3 is an exhilarating place to be when your are finding your feet and everything is a challenge. We have developed an environment for our toddlers that will encourage them to explore and experiment, and try out all their newly acquired skills whilst retaining the security of having familiar adults around them.

In our room we love to play, have fun and get messy. Our room is very much about learning through play – all our staff bring a special quality to the room:

Meet the staff:

Alex -  Senior practitioner

I enjoy planning for and being involved in all activities such as music and movement and news time. This gives the children the opportunity to chat and discuss what they did at the weekend and what activities they have enjoyed doing in our room that day.
We value each child for their individuality and the personality and uniqueness they bring to the Wallaby room.

Rachel – Childcare Practitioner

I am the messy and creative staff member of the wallaby room. I love doing jelly play, gloop and painting activities with the children. I am responsible for supporting and welcoming students to Tree House Nursery and helping them to develop in the learning and experiences.

Alison -  Childcare Assistant

I enjoy being outside in the garden with the children, doing circle games, story time and providing children with the chance to use their imaginations whilst exploring new experiences.
