Shoots Room

This room has a capacity for twenty-four toddlers aged 2 years to 3 years old (approx according to individual needs). Your child will move from Seedlings to Shoots when you and your child’s Key-worker feels they are developmentally ready. There will be one senior member of staff and five assistants when at full capacity.

Should this be your child’s first time at Little Footsteps Shoots will offer them a warm, caring and stimulating environment.

The indoor space offers: cosy corner with book sharing, mark making area, creative play, construction, messy play, table top activities and much more. It also has its own toilet facilities and equipped to suit the needs of young children.

Most children of this age still require a daily rest period or nap; to support this need Little Footsteps has mobile mattresses that can be accessed when needed. We provide mobile mattresses and bedding which is individual to the child and washed weekly.

This room like all rooms at Little Footsteps operates a ‘Free-Flow’ play policy, allowing children to access the outdoor play space at all times. This play space has been designed to allow toddlers to play securely and safely in the open environment.

The ground covering consists of Astro turf, sponge chippings and rubber matting allowing children to explore different surfaces and textures.

There is a range of activities including low-level water, sand and messy play trays, bikes, small wooden climbing frame, digging area, and much more, encouraging positive development particularly in the large motor skills area.
