Our Rooms
At Burns Bay Cottage we have three groups; The Emerald Group for children aged 0-2.5, The Aqua Group for children aged between 2.5-3.5 and the Crimson Group for children aged 3.5-5 years.
We believe that within a safe and nurturing environment the young child needs interesting and stimulating activities that provide a challenge to natural curiosity, excite creativity and instil a genuine love for learning.
The daily schedule at Burns Bay Cottage offers a balance between the following types of activities, which provide children with the opportunity to learn and develop and be part of a community:
- Gross Motor and active times, as well as relaxing quiet times
- Large group activities, small group activities and time to play alone or with others
