Pre School Curriculum at Bottesford Bunnies!

Our primary focus at Bottesford Bunnies is for children to feel safe and secure. This starts with visits to the setting and home visits. The team use warm and positive interactions with children and their families to help them settle into the new Pre School environment.

Each child has a designated key person who supports them as they become familiar with the Pre School routine and activities.

We want children to develops strong communication and language skills, helping them to gain and progress their social and emotional skills, recognising
their own emotions and those of others.
 These skills are essential for children to become happy, confident, independent and inquisitive little learners.
We have used the ‘Birth to Five’ guidance document to shape our curriculum, which includes a balance of both adult-led and child-led learning
opportunities and a progression document starting at each individual child’s baseline of entry, following opportunities for kill progression right through to goals at the end of Reception year.
We have a long-term annual plan, which includes looking at seasonal changes, festivals and celebrations (available to view on our website) and a weekly plan,  which comes from the curriculum, long term plan, next steps and children’s interests.

Busy Bear and Busy Bunny

At Bottesford Bunnies we have a teddy bear called Busy Bear and a rabbit called Busy Bunny.

Children are encouraged to take Busy Bear and Busy Bunny home with them, so they can join in with family life for a few days, specifically for children who are taking time to settle in to pre-school. Parents can show us their adventures through our online platform Parentzone.

Busy Bear enjoys meeting and playing with new friends. He loves to go out and about, he loves cuddles and snuggles and he enjoys stories, rhymes and songs. He understands all languages and likes children to talk to him in their own language.
