Explorers
Bee Class
Friendships start here. Our Explorers room is full of routines, creative play and the kind of busy-busy energy that makes two-year-olds tick.
Warm, structured, fun.
Teacher Nicolette is the queen of routines. She knows that two-year-olds thrive when they know what’s coming next, and she somehow makes every transition feel like a game.
This is the room where many of our children, fresh from the Wobblers room, start sharing, taking turns, and forming their very first proper friendships. Big feelings, big growth.
Routines, sharing & creative play.
We balance freedom and structure: lots of choice within a predictable daily rhythm.

Art & craft
Painting, gluing, cutting and creating, with fridge masterpieces guaranteed.
Pretend play
