Beeston Nursery

The Bugz area is separate from the other groups, but still within the open plan ground floor room. The non-walkers area has been designed to stimulate both none and pre walkers, whilst offering safety and comfort to this sensitive age group.
This group focuses on the main fundamental principles in childcare.

A comprehensive daily diary will be given to parents/carers on collection of your child, informing you fully of their day & fun times that they have had.

Occupying the main of the ground floor open plan play room, there is a vast amount of space and many different areas for children within this group to manoeuvre around and explore, all of which stimulates their natural curiosity, promoting all aspects of the children’s learning, imagination and development, now that they are mobile.

There is a large area specifically designed and equipped for messy, malleable, creative & sensory play, which can be accessed by both of the above age groups, this area enables us to give the children many opportunities to be exposed to these varied and exciting types of play either as a group or as individuals.

A learning and development package has been developed and implemented for the Bizzy Bugz and the Bizzy Beetlez, which is built on and around the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Children in the Bizzy Bugz and the Bizzy Beetlez will be presented with lots of opportunities and experiences which challenge their physical capabilities.They will also be provided with many opportunities and experiences which promote inquisitiveness & exploring. Sensory and manipulative play will be a core element of play within this age group.

A comprehensive daily diary will be given to parents/carers on collection of your child, informing you fully of their day & fun times that they have had.

Your child’s learning becomes more formal & structured within this group, but will be fun & highly interactive and at times very messy!

The Bizzy Bumblez group of Bizzy Kidz is situated on the first floor of the Bizzy Kidz premises, the children in this group have many individual play rooms to choose from and the emphasis is on giving your child choice, children are able freely to choose in which room they play & for how long (as appropriate), and when they wish to do things, which means their play becomes transient and free flowing.

The rooms which the children have choice from are:

• Computer Suite & Classroom
• Role Play Room
• Sensory Room & Chill Out Room
• TV Room
• Messy, Creative & Art Room
• Play Room with Rhythm & Music Area
• Cloak Room & Snack Room
• All of the above rooms are set up for the children all of the time and the children choose where they wish to play.

The Bizzy Bumblez 2 ½ to 5’s learning curriculum has been planned & implemented on and around the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework (EYFS) Your child’s learning will be planned around topics which will run for a term of a month and will include many exciting, fun, weird & wonderful activities. Part of your child’s day will be allotted to structured learning, working on developing:

• Colour recognition
• shape recognition
• number recognition
• pencil control & fine manipulation of tools
• letter recognition
• reading skills
• counting skills

We adopt a certain approach in teaching your child to read which is a “phonics” based system (for more information on the sequence & steps that Bizzy Kidz use in developing your child’s reading skills, please contact the manager who will discuss in more detail) Your child will also be taught how to use and manipulate the computer, printer and associated tools & equipment. Children within this group will be divided into structured learning groups according to ability in individual areas, so will work in a variety of learning area groups and at a variety of levels individual to themselves.

Bizzy Kidz Beeston has recently had a newly installed and transformed fantastic outdoor play space, which is fenced & totally secure and constantly monitored by our parent accessible camera system, access can only be gained to the rear of the premises and play space via the finger print scan recognition system.

Our outdoor play space boasts a complete artificial grass area and play surface for protection of the children against bumps & scrapes, there are nooks and crannies and hidey dens to explore, as well as tunnels, mounds, bark kitchens for children to take on roles in and a designated water area for the children to get creative and splash in. We also have many other areas in our newly installed play area, such as mark making and magnetic boards that we use for many different purposes and obstacle equipment to develop the children’s physical and gross motor skills, when our children need a rest or a breather from their play we have a stunning sunken thatched gazebo adorned with lights for the children to chill and be calm in and take shade in from the sun in sunny weather, our sunken thatched gazebo is also a great area for our babies to play in safely. All this is surrounded by plants and trees to create an ambient space in which the children can explore, play and feel safe in.

We have a vast array of other outdoor play equipment such as outdoor sand troughs and water farms, tents, balls & bats and many trike and wheeled vehicles & much more.

All children are given helmets to wear whilst using the wheeled toys and vehicles outside.
