our rooms
At Cavendish Lodge our rooms are divided for our babies, toddlers and preschoolers.
'Buttercups' is where our babies from 6 months to 2 years are looked after with lots of love and care. Before they start they get to enjoy three taster sessions to help them get used to new surroundings. With a staff ratio of 1: 3, there are always lots of people on hand to play, help, or give a cuddle.
BUTTERCUPS
'Bugs Club' is for toddlers two to two and half years. It is where you find our independent little ones where they are given more choice in their days, though still within a carefully planned framework. There's a staff ratio of 1:4 to provide lots of guidance and helping hands.
BUGS CLUB
Cavendish Lodge Preschool is made up of 3 preschool base rooms - Cheeky Monkeys, Leaping Lemurs and the Clockhouse. Children begin to move up to the first room from around two and half years and will move through the rooms until they start reception, at rising 5 years old. The children now are usually confident and skilful little learners, busy with creative and investigative activities, often with close friends and clear preferences. The staffing ratio is 1:4 for under 3s and 1: 8 for 3 -5 year olds.
