About Us
Our Toddler classroom caters for children ages 14months to 2 ½ years old. We encourage toddlers to become more able and independent, we focus on self-managed activities and play, such as dressing up, food testing / cooking and team games.
Early Learners feel it is essential for a child to grow and develop their skills. `Messy` play, hide and seek and memory games in the nursery are also introduced. All activities are safely managed and supervised.
We have a large focus on children learning through their actions. We believe we are very creative and offer the children to experiment with new objects and activities like, hats, bags and costumes. We use giant boxes and objects to encourage imagination and creativity. During playtimes we enjoy music, our new smart-screen touchscreen wall panel, picture books and finger rhymes helping to develop listening skills, rhythm and sound recognition.
A place of awe & wonder!

What is 2 year old Early Years Funding?
Eligible 2-year olds in England may be entitled to up to 15 hours a week of funding for 38 weeks of the year. Eligible children in England may claim 15 hours of funding, that's 570 funded hours per year. By September 2025, eligible working families with children aged between 9 months and 5 years old will be entitled to 30 hours of childcare support. Eligible children in England may claim 30 hours of funding, that's 1140 funded hours per year.

Here at Early Learners we stretch a child's funding over 12 months/ 52 week (instead of 38 weeks), this is to help working families and spread the savings throughout the year. Certain nurseries may also offer term-time only sessions across 38 week, however these are limited.
If your child is eligible, you can start claiming after they turn 2. The date you can claim will depend on when their birthday is. To find out if you meet the criteria, contact the Council's Funded Early Education Entitlement (FEEE) Team click apply:
