Look at all the wonderful play invitations on offer today!

Our rooms are ready for another busy day of exploring, creating and learning through play 🐞
Including;

Splat painting – getting creative (and a little messy!)
Diggers in the sand – scooping, digging and transporting
Cups & lollipop stick building – balancing, stacking and constructing

So many opportunities for our Ladybirds to investigate, experiment and use their imaginations. We can’t wait to see where their play takes them today!

It started with some little splashes with our new hosepipe... and ended in the Ladybirds getting their grown-ups VERY wet! 💧☀️ Bathing in the tray, getting sprayed by the hosepipe, and sliding down the waterslide - a perfect afternoon at nursery!
