2 By Two

Our 2-3 year old room (2byTwo) is a nursery provision in Oswaldtwistle.  In 2ByTwo we recognise that every child is a unique individual. The ability to learn is underpinned by the teaching of basic skills, knowledge, concepts and values. We believe that a child’s experiences of nursery should be happy and positive.

Every child will have a nominated key worker who will develop an in depth knowledge about the child and family. Each child’s well-being and involvement is of paramount to practitioners and is carefully monitored. We will promote positive attitudes to both learning and behaviour.

We carefully plan and provide a balance of child led and adult initiated activities and experiences which are enjoyable, challenging and age appropriate through both indoor and outdoor provision. There is a strong focus on the prime areas of learning and developing the characteristics of effective learning.

Children have a choice of resources and materials which are organised through continuous provision to encourage independence, choice and positive learning dispositions including curiosity, perseverance and confidence.

Children will leave 2ByTwo with a sense of belonging ready to start pre-school the following academic year.

Places and Funding Information

We have 20 places for 2-3 year olds. Parents are invited to fill in an application form after their child turns 2. If places are available parents will be contacted by a member of staff.

From the term after your child turns two, you might be able to claim 15 hours a week early education and childcare up to a maximum of 570 hours per year, funded by the government. How you apply will depend on whether you are in receipt of certain benefits or are a working family.

Parents can choose the sessions they would like their child to attend. Providing we have space we are very flexible. There is also a breakfast and 2s club which operates outside of our school hours. The table below shows our prices and session times.
