About us?

The Caterpillar classroom is set up to be a low arousal space. 

It is highly staffed with a high level of staff to children.

This space has a sensory room where children can access to in 'free-flow'.

This space is suitable in supporting our children who have a higher level of need.

Play opportunities are also set up to provide children with opportunities to apply newly acquired knowledge, demonstrating their skills and level of understanding.                

In providing these active learning opportunities through play we understand the central position of play within the EYFS framework. This is essentially a play based curriculum and pedagogy as the provision of play opportunities underpins its delivery within settings.
