Learning and Development for under 2's

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

  1. Making Relationships - Each child is encouraged by their key person to form positive relationships with their peers and other key members of staff. 
  2. Self-confidence and self-awareness - We support the children in building confidence in their own abilities through a range of activities. We encourage them to take small risks and make their own choices as much as possible.
  3. Managing feelings and behaviour - Each child should be free to express themselves however they wish. If they need space to do so then we aim to provide this for them. We also make sure that we are on hand to comfort when needed as well as celebrate their achievments and promote a positive atmosphere.

Communication & Language

  1. Listening and attention - we promote this by reading lots of stories, singing lots of rhymes and listening to familiar noises around the room
  2. Understanding - to support this we make sure we provide the children with the resources and knowledge to build on. The staff are very chatty and we narrate to the children what we are doing as we are doing it.
  3. Speaking - as we are a baby based room, we make sure that we use age appropriate language and we do a lot of activities based around language development.

Physical Development

  1. Moving and Handling - we promote physical development by encouraging crawling, walking, jumping, climbing and rolling in a safe and controlled environment
  2. Health and Self-care - we like to encourage children to feed themselves and make healthy choices about the foods we eat. We also encourage the children to dress themselves and talk about nappy and other hygiene routines.

Did you know...

Your child learns more from adults who smile. That's why at Jumping Jo's you will always be greeted by a friendly face.


Another interesting fact is that your child learns more in the first 1000 days of their life, than they do in the rest of their lifetime. That is why education in baby room is so important.


Children learn as they play, but more importantly in play children learn how to learn.

Promoting Parent Partnerships

We love to work with parents to promote the development of each individual child. We ask parents to make a contribution the their learning journey as much as possible and will send home learning packs to support the targets we have set for the child for that month. We are available at any time for parents to have a chat with and aim to be here as much for them as we are for the children.


Due to the current situation with COVID-19, we haven't been allowing the parents to enter the children's rooms. However, we still greet them in the hallway and try to give in depth feedback about the child's day. 


Using the class dojo app, parents are able to see what their child has been doing and can use it as a way to communicate with the staff.

Eating, Sleeping and Playtime Routines

Although we have a set routine, we are flexible and will follow each individual child's routine to support and meet their needs. We will ask you to fill in a care plan when your child enters the setting. This is then used to support your child.


We try to ensure that all children's routines are supported individually as much as possible. Most children sleep after lunch, but again, we will follow what the child needs. We have sleep mats and also a bouncer and a swing, so can offer a comfortable resting spot for all of the children.


We offer a wide range of foods on the menu, and accommodate dietary needs where needed. We encourage baby led weaning, but staff are always happy to spoon feed if that is parental preference


Free play is a great opportunity for the little ones to explore the environment, and can access the resources whenever they like.


The children enjoy playing out in the garden, and exploring.
