Our Rooms
We have four main rooms at Fenton Barns Nursery, The Wrens (coming soon), The Robins (0-2 years), The Puffins (2-3 years) and The Owls (3-5 years). Each room is connected directly to the garden and the Wrens area is separated, although they often join everyone in the big garden too. At Fenton Barns we like to spend most of our time outside making the most of our fantastic facilities. For the older children (from 2 years and above) use our indoor space for eating and sleeping/rest time in the afternoon. For our under 2's we share our time between the indoors and the outdoors.
Robins
Our Robins Room caters for children aged 3 months to 2 years. The staff working in the room ensure that the children experience a relaxing and stimulating environment by providing a varied range of toys and activities to promote growth and development.
The Robins have access to their own enclosed garden as well as the larger outdoor areas. We go for regular walks around the farm area and to the park. The staff in the room work with the Pre Birth to 3 Curriculum.

Puffins
Our Puffins Room caters for children aged 2 - 3 years old. In the Puffins room we are very busy with lots of fun activities, both planned and free play. The children in the Puffins spend most of the day outdoors no matter what the weather, we gain lots of learning experiences and opportunities when playing outside, from exploring, learning our colours and numbers and developing our motor skills. We understand that every child is an individual and we follow the Pre Birth to 3 Curriculum which is very child led to ensure the children are always doing what they find interesting and fun.
Owls
In the Owls Room we cater for children aged 3-5 years. We focus on child lead activities and gaining independence through tasks such as, setting the table, putting on our outerwear clothing ourselves, serving our own meals and cleaning up after ourselves. We have a huge focus on outdoor learning and using all natural resources, getting away from plastic wherever we can. We do lots of work on early literacy, name recognition, phonic pictures, with names on our own drawers and pegs, and self-signing ourselves in and out of nursery. We follow the Curriculum for Excellence in this room.
