Bugs in Mud!
How inviting does this sensory tray look for our Banksia children!
The children showed a wonderful interest in insects, so we created a hands-on sensory experience that allowed them to explore and discover. They happily got their hands into the mud, using their fingers and tweezers to dig, search, and find the insects hidden within.
This experience encouraged the children to be curious, try new things, and explore at their own pace. It also helped them develop their fine motor skills as they practised using the tweezers and strengthened their concentration as they searched for the hidden insects.

Meet the Team Monday:
Meet Ms. Ayla, our diploma qualified "Baby Whisperer" with 13 years Early education experience.
Her favourite part of working in early education, especially in the nursery, is being one of the first people babies learn to trust outside of their families. Watching the babies reach their milestones and celebrating these special moments alongside their families is such a highlight.
Outside of work, Ayla is all about spending time with her family, fishing, watching paranormal investigations and cheering on the Wahs!
We are so lucky to have Ms. Ayla as part of our team.
If you are looking for quality education and care for your baby, book a tour today to learn more about our nursery program.
