Hedgehogs Room
Our Room
In Hedgehogs, we take children from the age of 15 months (or walking) until around 18 months, and have a maximum of 15 children with us at a time. Our aim is to give children the best possible start to their early education, and help their development at their own pace.
The room is set up with a role play area, black and white corner and a soft ball pool. Hedgehogs have the added bonus of having their own sensory room. They also have their own decking attached to the room, and a separate designated baby area within our garden. Children have the opportunity to access Outdoor Learning during the week, including making use of baby carriers and buggies.

Early Years Curriculum
We deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) promoting all areas of your child’s development through play and planned opportunities. We use EyLog to record your child’s learning journey.
SEND Support
We operate a completely inclusive policy, and ensure all children have the opportunity to thrive. Our staff use Makaton to help children communicate.
Outdoor Learning
We run regular Outdoor Learning sessions (including Forest School) throughout the week. Suitable clothing is provided to enable the activity to operate regardless of the weather.
