Toddler Space: 15 months - 3 years

Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games and reading experiences.

On any given day the Toddler children can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.

Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn taking, developing self confidence and emotional self regulation. Our team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.

Kindergarten Space: 3 – 6 years

Kindergarten is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program encourages active engagement in learning and supports a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.

The oral language supports literacy learning. A child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Kindergarten children's development by engaging in rich discussions, introducing new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations, as well as singing, playing games, and reading with the children daily.

Throughout the Kindergarten year,children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.

Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, is supported through group learning environments. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Lastly, ensuring that all children are ready for the ‘big school’ by preparing them for all that ‘big school’ has to offer.

Our centre chef prepares and cooks healthy and nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.

Our centre offers children nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Hi my name is Kristyn and I am the Centre Manager here at Nottingham World of Learning. I began my career in early childhood education and care in 2010. I started working at Nottingham World of Learning in 2018. I hold a Certificate 3 and a Diploma in Children’s Services. I have worked at Nottingham World of Learning as a Lead Educator, Educational Leader, Assistant Centre Manager and now as a Centre Manager.

I have always had a passion for early childhood education. I have worked with all ages and learnt a lot about the different skills and needs of children. I am passionate about helping children on their learning life journey. We educate the children in all different learning areas – art, movement, cognitive, self-help skills, and communication. I also pride myself on being a great mentor to my team.

When children are in a dedicated early learning environment, they get the opportunity to be independent, self-regulate, learn resilience, social skills, and language. They are able to explore with qualified early childhood educators and teachers who are trained to educate and develop skills that all children need for their future!

Our team at Nottingham are dedicated. We have long-serving, multicultural team members who reflect our local community. You will be greeted with a smile and your child will be in caring hands.

We support our families by always making sure we communicate with our families. They are greeted with a happy team and we always keep in touch with our amazing app – Xplor Home! We can update you on your child’s day throughout the day.

We make sure that we respect all cultural needs of our families and children, their home life and kindy life are consistent, and the needs of the families are met. Families are also encouraged to be involved in centre decisions, events and their child’s learning.

Welcome to Nottingham World of Learning.
