OUR WHY 🤍

This photo really sums up our why.

Sallianne sat with our children watching their brand new dome being built — watching, wondering, questioning and imagining what it might become.

Because for us, nursery is about so much more than care.

Over the past year, we’ve invested hugely in our team and our practice — from Reggio Emilia, heuristic play and sensory development, to Makaton, Intensive Interaction, Bucket Time and understanding child development and behaviour.

The more we learn, the more we understand that every child is different. And that means our practice has to start with the child.

What are they communicating?
What are they interested in?
What do they need?
How can we support them to thrive?

It’s why we create environments that encourage curiosity, independence, exploration and creativity. It’s why we follow children’s interests and give them opportunities to investigate the world around them.

Even something as simple as watching a dome being built becomes an opportunity to wonder, talk, question and learn. 🤍

We don’t just want to care for children.

We want to know them, understand them, nurture them and help them become confident, capable and curious little people.

We continually learn, reflect and evolve because the children are our why.

And that’s what makes us different.

More than care. More than childcare. A place where children are truly at the centre of everything we do. 🤍

✨ INSET DAY HIGHLIGHTS ✨

Yesterday we brought our amazing team together for a day of learning, development and a little glimpse of what’s coming next at Jack & Ella’s! 💛

👕 NEW UNIFORMS — officially unveiled!

🎒 NEW CHILDREN’S BAGS — parents, watch this space… 👀 Sneak peek alert!

⛑️ FIRST AID REFRESHER — we choose to refresh our team annually rather than simply meeting the compulsory 3-year requirement. Just another little thing that makes us different. 💛

🌱 CURRICULUM TRAINING — getting right back to our foundations with Development Matters and exploring the importance of understanding the WHY behind everything we do.

It’s not just about what we provide, but why we provide it, what learning sits underneath it and how it supports children’s development.

We want our team to see beyond the activity, beyond the resources and beyond the what — and really understand the why. ✨

And, of course, we finished the day with a Domino’s feast for our hardworking team as a little thank you! 🍕❤️

A brilliant day with a brilliant team. We’re so proud of our educators and their commitment to continually learning, reflecting and growing. 🥰

Now… time for a very well-earned break! ☀️

🍃 Loose Parts: Where imagination begins…

Sometimes the simplest resources create the richest learning.

Leaves, twigs, shells, clay and string don’t tell children what to do—they invite them to wonder, explore and create. 🌿

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, loose parts encourage children to become the authors of their own play. There is no right or wrong way to use them, meaning every child can follow their own ideas, test theories and express themselves in hundreds of different ways.

✨ Today a stick might become a magic wand.
🏡 Tomorrow it might be the roof of a tiny home.
🐌 Or part of a story only a child could imagine.

Through loose parts, children are developing:
🤎 Creativity and imagination
🌱 Problem-solving and critical thinking
🖐 Fine motor skills and coordination
💬 Language and collaboration
🌍 A deeper connection with the natural world

In Reggio Emilia, we believe the environment is the “third teacher.” By carefully curating beautiful, open-ended materials, we’re sending children one powerful message:

“Your ideas matter.”

The possibilities aren’t found in the resources…
They’re found in the child. ✨
