🎉Celebrating 30 years of Wishing Well! 🎉👶👧👦

We would like to thank all the Staff, Children, Parents, Grandparents and Carers from the last 30 years. We can not thank you all enough for the support and dedication you have all given us over the years and all the lovely memories we all hold!

We are fortunate enough to still see familiar faces on a daily basis as some people who attended Wishing Well as children are back as parents and staff members! We home this continues in the future!

We are proud of what we do as a team and will continue to care for your children the way we have for so many years to help them grow, learn and develop the best way we know how. To see the children achieve all their milestones and see their progress as they grow gives us great pleasure to care for them everyday.

We will be celebrating this more after the revamp of the rooms if complete!🥳

Here's to many more years and so many more memories!

Thank You
Alyson and The Wishing Well Team

Little Explorers

Today in the little Explorers room they are learning about sea life they have been creating their own aquariums using different materials, practicing using scissors to cut said materials, having their own ideas and choosing what they want in their aquariums, they have enjoyed sharing ideas with friends and learning new words. The staff have provided examples of aquariums to help give the children ideas, lots of resources e.g. glitter, shiny paper, rough paper, tissue paper etc. to give the children choices and they also created one along side the children to demonstrate the activity.
Because the children enjoyed this so much the staff extended their interests and made a messy activity which was a slime aquarium in the tuff tray!

The home corner has been turned into an Italian restaurant, this helps the children's imagination, role play different occupations, reception, server, chef. They learnt about different foods, healthy foods, unhealthy foods, money ''that will be £1'' which helps the children to understand how the world around us works and sharing ideas.

Nursery Classroom

The children have been having a wonderful time learning about bugs, learning the names for them all, where they live, using the magnifying glasses to search for them! The children's topic is animals and they are learning about different types of animals. They also extended the activity and did a bug hunt in the garden!

The children enjoyed playing with the small world set up, using the trains, train track, accessories to use their imagination, give idea's take turns, play along side other children and create a small world developing other children's ideas as a group! They also learned about different types of trains during the activity!

The children were also provided with different shaped blocks with the intent to challenge the children's imaginations, having idea's and thoughts to create a dream house! The children enjoyed interacting with each other telling their friends what kind of house they would like. They shared and swapped the bricks with each other and this activity also challenged the children's concentration and balancing skills!
