Observing Remembrance Day ❤️
Today, November 11th, we observe Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day).

We take this day to pause, reflect, and honour the armed forces members (from Commonwealth member states) who have tragically died in the line of duty since the end of the First World War.

At Building Blocks Nursery, we teach our children about the Remembrance Poppy, a symbol of remembrance and hope. We remember the sacrifices made so that we may live in peace.

We will remember them.

The children have had a spooktacular time today! They've been busy engaging in lots of fun (and not-so-scary) activities, including brewing magical potions, dressing up, and creating friendly spiders! It's been wonderful to see their imaginations at work.

Searching for the perfect start to your child's education?

Take advice from one of our happy parents: "If you’re a parent wondering about placing your children with this nursery, don’t hesitate! It’ll be the best decision you’ve ever made for them."

We are incredibly proud of the work our team does, especially when supporting children with specific needs. Our parent highlights that the amazing staff, along with our SENCO, went "above and beyond" to support their child's language delay, making a difference from the very first day.

Embracing Autumn at Handsworth Wood Stay and Play! 🍂

We've been loving the colours and textures of the new season at our Handsworth Wood Nursery, and it was wonderful to share the magic with our families during our Autumnal Stay and Play Sessions!

Parents were invited into the nursery to join our staff and children for some cozy, Autumn-themed activities. It was a beautiful opportunity to share in the children’s learning, make memories together, and explore sensory play with leaves, pumpkins, and natural materials.

Thank you to all the parents who came to "Stay and Play" the Autumn fun with us! Your involvement is so valuable to your child’s nursery experience.
