Tulip is the last stop for everybody at The Children’s Room. In each room we have concentrated on and developed all areas of learning in readiness for their first taste of school which is now not far away.
“I keep telling Ryan that he must concentrate in Tulip as all of the letters and numbers they learn will be used at big school. I think however he is more concerned as to whether or not he will still be able to dress up or have stories in book corner when he gets there!”
Claire, mum of Ryan aged 4
