Free play is an important part of early childhood development. It allows children to explore their interests, build creativity, and develop independence in a safe and supportive environment. At Jack & Jill’s, children have access to a variety of toys, resources, and imaginative play areas where they can learn naturally through play.
Guided play combines the freedom of exploration with gentle support from our experienced practitioners. Staff encourage curiosity by introducing activities, asking questions, and helping children expand their thinking while still allowing them to lead the play.
Our team plans engaging activities designed to support key areas of development such as communication, creativity, early maths, and problem solving. These sessions are carefully adapted to suit each age group and help children gain confidence while learning new skills.
Our Forest School sessions allow children to explore and learn in the outdoors. Through nature-based activities such as exploring woodland areas, building, discovering wildlife, and outdoor play, children develop confidence, resilience, and a connection with nature.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which guides learning and development for children from birth to five years. This ensures every child receives high-quality early education that supports their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
