Ducklings Room

---

In Ducklings there are two members of staff, and together we care for up to five children aged 9months to 2years.

We have a flexible routine which allows us to incorporate each child's individual routine. We work closely with parents/carers to complete daily routine cards, so each child's individual needs are met.
In Ducklings we see ourselves laying the foundations for confident communicators. We do this through one to one interaction with eye contact and mirroring. We enjoy lively, spontaneous and planned singing sessions with scarves, rhythm sticks and the very popular magic box.
Most of our play is floor based with access to shelves and units to challenge and develop motor skills. We provide resources that strengthen their hand eye coordination and fine motor skills like puzzles, shape sorters and an assortment of building blocks.

We provide open-ended resources that allow them to make discoveries about different media and their capabilities. We embrace the children's need to investigate and explore using their senses through messy play like gloop, paint, foam, sand, rice and glitter.
