Toddlers Room at Little Woodlands Day Nursery Minsterworth

A fun, supportive space for growing independence

At Little Woodlands, our Toddlers Room is a bright, engaging environment where children begin to explore the world with growing confidence. With caring practitioners, gentle routines and plenty of opportunities to try new things, we create a space that feels safe, familiar and full of discovery.

Our team offers lots of one‑to‑one attention alongside small‑group experiences, helping toddlers build secure relationships while developing independence at their own pace. We follow each child’s individual routine and interests, supporting them through this exciting stage of early development.

Through hands‑on play, early communication, music, movement and outdoor adventures, toddlers are encouraged to explore, experiment and express themselves – all within a warm, nurturing, home‑from‑home setting.

Daily life in the toddlers room

Our days are filled with meaningful play and gentle structure. Toddlers enjoy a balance of free exploration and guided activities, including:

  • Sensory play to support curiosity and early problem‑solving

  • Outdoor learning in our safe garden spaces

  • Early communication activities such as stories, songs and simple conversations

  • Physical play to build coordination and confidence

We share regular updates with you throughout the day so you always feel connected to your child’s experiences and achievements.

Our toddlers environment

The Toddlers Room is designed to inspire exploration while still feeling calm and secure. Low‑level resources, cosy corners and open‑ended materials encourage children to make choices, follow their interests and develop independence.

Every area – from creative spaces to role‑play zones – supports early learning in a natural, child‑led way.

Settling in

We understand that moving into the Toddlers Room is a big step. Our settling‑in sessions give your child time to get to know the team, explore the room and build confidence at their own pace. We work closely with you to ensure a smooth, reassuring transition.
