Tweenie Units

The Tweenie children are cared for in 2 small groups:

  • The Lower Tweenie Unit
  • The Upper Tweenie Unit.

The Tweenie Units aim to greatly promote independence within each child. Responsibility charts are introduced and self-help skills are promoted in a variety of ways. Introduction of pencil control, number and shape recognition are also an important factor within these units and are carried out in a relaxed and informal manner. The children have time to explore in greater detail a wider range and variety of activities; these include the exploration of the outside environment via more trips out.

Toilet training is an area that is carried out within these units and staff work closely with parents on this important but sensitive issue. Lower Tweenie children have a toilet area within the unit where toilet training can arise ensuring each child’s modesty and privacy is maintained. The Upper Tweenie unit have access to a large toilet area, which is also welcoming and inviting to promote the children’s enjoyment in toilet training whilst still maintaining each child’s privacy and modesty.

Monthly reports are sent home at the beginning of each month to continue with parental involvement as well as ensuring parents are updated with their child’s special interests of the current monthly theme and also individual targets. Play plans are completed on a weekly basis and displayed for parents to review what activities are being carried out. Monthly planning is also completed by key workers and displayed in the hallway for parents to read at their leisure.
