☀️ Better late than never… here’s a look back at our summer holidays! 🌈

What a busy summer we had! From community trips to the library, cinema and local shops 📚🎬🛒 to enjoying outdoor play in all weathers—including lots of puddle splashing! 🌧️💦

The children also enjoyed sensory and messy play, water and ice exploration, small-world play, dinosaurs, construction, puzzles, painting, cutting and sticking, alongside lots of climbing, balancing and active play. 🎨🧩🦕🏀

A summer full of exploring, learning, creating and making lovely memories with our friends! 💛🌻

⚽️🇬🇧 Football fever has well and truly taken over at Ashcroft today! 🇬🇧⚽️

From penalty shootouts to goal celebrations, football shirts to plenty of cheering, we’ve had a day full of smiles, teamwork and sporting fun! ❤️🤍

The children (and staff! 😆) have been making their predictions all day and we’ve all come to the same conclusion…

🏆 England 2️⃣ - 0️⃣ Argentina 🏆

We’re backing the Three Lions all the way! 🦁🦁🦁

Come on England… IT’S COMING HOME! 🏆⚽️❤️

🚌📚 A trip to the library… with an adventure along the way! 📚🚌

Our children had a fantastic day recently visiting our local library, and the excitement started before we even arrived!

For many of the children, travelling on the bus was just as exciting as the destination itself. They loved receiving their very own bus tickets, looking out of the windows, chatting about everything they could see, and experiencing public transport together.

Once at the library, the children enjoyed exploring the wonderful selection of books, listening to stories, and discovering the magic that reading can bring. Trips like these help to build confidence, encourage independence, and inspire a lifelong love of books and learning.

🦋 Our Hungry Caterpillar & Butterfly Adventure!🐛

Our little learners have loved exploring 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' while learning all about the Life cycle of a butterfly! From egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, to butterfly, the children brought their learning to life through painting, crafts, sensory play, and observing real butterflies up close. 🎨🌿

These activities helped spark curiosity, creativity, and lots of excitement as the children explored nature through play and storytelling. Watching the butterflies and seeing their amazement was truly magical! ✨🦋

What a fun-filled week at nursery! 🌈

Our little explorers have been busy enjoying the great outdoors—running around the field, playing group games, and even practicing their football skills! ⚽️ We also had some exciting sensory and teamwork activities with our colourful parachute, which brought lots of giggles and smiles.

We also had a fantastic time at showtowns sensory class, where the children explored lights, textures, and hands-on activities that sparked their curiosity and imagination ✨

The children loved getting up close with nature too, feeding the ducks and pigeons by the water 🦆

It’s been wonderful to see friendships growing, confidence building, and so much curiosity in every activity. 💛

We’re so proud of all our little learners!

📚✨ Every Day is World Book Day in Our Nursery! ✨📚

This week the children enjoyed a range of book-inspired activities, bringing their favourite stories to life through play. From exploring The Gruffalo, to sensory play, small world activities and creative art, the children used their imagination to recreate characters and scenes from stories.

At our nursery we believe that World Book Day is not just one day — it’s something we celebrate every day by encouraging a love of books, stories and reading. 💛📖

🥞🍓 Pancake Fun at Nursery! 🍌🍋

What a busy (and tasty!) few days we’ve had! Our little chefs have been hard at work preparing their very own delicious treats.

These activity’s supported so many areas of learning:
✨ Developing fine motor skills through cutting and spreading
✨ Building confidence and independence
✨ Learning about healthy foods and making choices
✨ Practising turn-taking and teamwork
✨ Exploring textures through sensory play

We are so proud of how carefully everyone listened to instructions and how excited they were to taste their creations — there were lots of sticky fingers and even bigger smiles! 😄

Well done, super chefs! 🌟

🌈💚 Children’s Mental Health Week at Nursery 💚🌈

Last week we focused on wellbeing, self-care and exploring our emotions. The children enjoyed a relaxing spa experience with foot spas and calming activities, as well as simple yoga and breathing exercises to help us feel calm and balanced 🧘‍♀️✨

We talked about different feelings and used mirrors and group discussions to help the children recognise and express their emotions confidently 💛

We also celebrated Valentine’s Day with heart-themed crafts, sensory play and lots of conversations about kindness and friendship ❤️

What a lovely week full of relaxation, movement and spreading love!
