Twinkles
3 – 18 Months
Little Stars Nursery, Penn Hill
Twinkles 3 – 18 months
Our little Twinkles are ideally situated on our spacious first floor, where we have a peaceful sleeping room and two light, bright playrooms. Everything in Twinkles is about meeting both you and your baby’s needs.
We understand you have worked hard to develop a routine that suits you and your child, so it is our role to replicate and maintain this at nursery. We will be guided by your wishes and your child’s needs. The staff to child ratio in Twinkles is one adult to three children, allowing time for attention, affection, and fun.
Activities
Activities are based around developing your babies’ senses and independence. Sensory activities develop the five senses: touch, taste, feel, smell, and sound.
There will be messy play and crafts, introducing your baby to touch, smell and textures. Lots of singing, music and stories will be included in their day, as well as lots of opportunities to get outside to play and explore in their own garden.

Facilities
Here at Little Stars, we have soft play equipment, which is a huge hit with the little ones, aiding physical development and co-ordination.
Our outside space has a dedicated play area for the Twinkles with a log cabin and artificial grass.
FUNDING
All children are entitled to 15 hours per week of funded childcare the term after they turn 3 years old. This is called ‘Universal’ funding.
Term Dates
Little Stars Day Nursery is open Monday to Friday, 51 weeks of the year, closing on Public holidays and for one week between Christmas and New Year.
Learning Journals
The online software, “Learning Journals” are a great way to track children’s development and progress throughout the nursery.
“Staff respond extremely well to the needs of babies, quickly recognising individual signs, such as tiredness, and spend time gently soothing them. Babies thoroughly enjoy sensory play experiences, such as smelling and feeling dough as they make biscuits.”
