Learning maths through play! 🔢✨

Our children in Butterflies have been having lots of fun exploring numbers in a sensory tray, matching amounts and recognising numerals. Activities like this help to build early maths skills while encouraging curiosity, concentration, and hands on learning!

Last week, our preschool children were very lucky to enjoy a walk to the library. We loved listening to stories and exploring a range of books together! 📚

Visits like these help to develop early literacy skills, encourage a love of reading, and build children’s confidence in accessing community resources. The children enjoyed talking about the stories, making predictions, sharing their ideas, and choosing books that interested them.

Being out in the local community also provides valuable opportunities to learn about the world around us, practise road safety, and develop social skills in real life situations. We had a wonderful time and are looking forward to visiting again soon! 📚

🌿🐒 Down in the jungle! 🦁🐘

Preschool have been busy practicing their fine motor skills by feeding the hungry jungle animals! The children used their hand strength and coordination to carefully, all while having lots of jungle themed fun. 🌴

Well done Preschool! 💚

🥣 Baking with Miss Holly’s Grandma! 🧁

Today Caterpillars had a very special visitor, Holly’s Grandma joined us for a wonderful baking session with the children! The children had lots of fun learning new baking skills, getting hands on, and of course decorating our cakes!

We are so grateful to Holly and her family for sharing this lovely experience with us. Thank you for making today so special! 💛

💚 Mental Health Awareness Week 💚

To support Mental Health Awareness Week, our Tinies have been engaging in sensory calming activities, including exploring moon sand!

We have been focusing on the colour green and talking about ways to help us feel calm and relaxed. The children have had lots of fun learning through play while exploring their senses and emotions. 🌿✨

🍪 Baking with toddlers! 🍪

Children love working together to mix, pour, stir, and decorate tasty treats. Not only is it lots of fun, it also helps them learn important skills like following instructions, taking turns, measuring ingredients, and building confidence. 🧡

This week has been so exciting at nursery! ✨

We had a huge delivery from Community Play to help enhance our nursery rooms, and we have absolutely loved setting everything up! From beautiful new home corners to exciting exploration trays and wonderful new resources, the children are already enjoying all the new opportunities for learning and play 💛

A huge thank you for helping us create inspiring environments for our little learners! 🌈

This week in Preschool, the children have been developing their communication skills by talking about past events and sharing their own experiences. 🌎🐠

Yesterday, we focused on Miss Jordanna’s holiday, including her visit to the Great Barrier Reef, where the children enjoyed learning all about coral reefs and the amazing sea life found there. The children loved discussing their own holidays, asking questions, and engaging in meaningful conversations with Jordanna.

It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they practise speaking, listening, and sharing their ideas with others. 💙

Exploring Spring with Our Babies 🌸🌼

Our baby room has been enjoying the beauty of spring through sensory exploration! The little ones explored a variety of textures inspired by the season, from soft petals to natural materials, engaging their senses in a calm and meaningful way. 🧡

Mini Beast Hunt! 🐞🔍

Our preschool children have been busy little explorers this week! After enjoying a tray activity all about mini beast habitats, we took our learning outdoors to see what we could discover in real life.

Using our magnifying glasses, the children went on a bug hunt, searching carefully under leaves, in the grass, and around our outdoor area. There was so much excitement as we spotted different mini beasts and talked about where they live and why.

It’s been a wonderful way to bring our learning to life while encouraging curiosity, observation, and a love for nature 🌿✨
