Squirrels

2 - 3 years old

Activities

We provide a range of planned and unplanned activities and resources to enable children to investigate and explore both inside and outside. The Squirrels enjoy exploring with play dough, having make believe adventures in their role play area and playing in the mud kitchen. They also like story time and reading books with a member of staff. The Squirrels and Badgers also enjoy lots of art and craft activities and walks to Knaresborough during the Feva festival.

Susan
Suzy
Squirrels Room Supervisor

My name is Suzy, I have been in childcare for a long time. I joined the team in 2013 and  I feel I am a vital part of the Red Kite family. I was the Senior Level 3 practitioner and would lead each of the rooms in absence of the room supervisors. I then progressed to be a room supervisor myself and I look after the Squirrels. I enjoy working in nursery and it allows me to engage with both children, parents and the nursery staff team.
