Welcome to
Tiny Tinkers Nursery
Play. Learn. Grow.
Our Approach
‘Who are our environments for?’
- By getting down to the child’s level and seeing the room through their eyes we have gained a massive insight into layout, resources and comfort.
‘What are our aspirations for our children?’
- This has been inspirational in itself, to think carefully about what we aspire for our children: happiness, confidence, being engaged, motivated, resilient, creative, independent, risk takers, communicators, calm and curious.
‘How can we support our children to achieve this?’
– Thinking about the importance of developing those secure and special bonds with our Key Children, providing exciting environments, authentic resources and allowing them to try new things (taking risk).
‘Why do we offer certain resources?’
– Developing our understanding about brain development, schemas and the different ways children learn through the characteristics of effective learning has highly influenced our resourcing.
​
​
Although the nursery is influenced by the curiosity approach we have our own unique method of creating a home from home environment. We like a lot of our environments and resources to be colourful and bright along with authentic resources.
