End of Year Celebration!

Thank you so much to everyone that came to celebrate with us last week. We loved sharing the day with so many of you!

A big shout out to Rubba Afidance, Kat and Andy Day for helping us with our different activities.

Rubba is from Afidance did you see them perform at the Harbour festival?

Thank you to everyone that helped us during the day, we really appreciate your support and can't do events like this without you.

We hope you had as much fun as we did!

We would like to wish you all a lovely summer!

🌈 Help us enhance our sensory room

We’re fundraising to purchase a bubble lamp for our sensory room — a calming, engaging resource that supports children’s sensory regulation, communication, and wellbeing.

If you would like to support this project, you can donate via our JustGiving page below. Any contribution, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for helping us continue to create an inclusive and nurturing environment for our children 💚

We're celebrating World Culture Day all week!

World Culture Day will take place on Thursday 21st May. From Monday 18th May to Friday 22nd May, we will be celebrating World Culture across both our Blackbirds and Seagulls rooms.

This is a wonderful opportunity for the children to learn about and celebrate the many cultures, traditions, languages, foods, clothing, music, stories, and experiences that make our nursery community so special.

Throughout the week, our staff team will also be planning and setting up a variety of activities and learning opportunities for the children to explore different cultures from around the world in fun and engaging ways.

We warmly invite parents and carers to come into nursery during the week to share something meaningful from your culture with the children. This could include:

• A story or traditional tale
• Music, dancing, or songs
• Traditional clothing or artefacts
• Food or snacks from your culture
• Photographs or celebrations
• Simple crafts or activities
• Words or greetings in another language

If you would like to take part, please speak to your child’s key person or a member of staff in either Blackbirds or Seagulls so we can help arrange a suitable day and time.

We are very excited to celebrate together and give the children the chance to experience and appreciate cultures from around the world.

Thanks for hosting us again for another lovely visit and telling us about your bubble lamp installation.

We would love to get secure bubble lamps and mirrors installed in our rainbow room, ours are homemade and not as robust.

As always, the children had a great time visiting and exploring your space.

We hope we can come and visit again!

New Year wishes

This week we are acknowledging Khmer New Year (Choul Chnam Thmey), which celebrates the traditional New Year in Cambodia, and Bangla New Year (Pohela Boishakh), which marks the beginning of the Bengali New Year.

We value the many cultures, traditions and experiences that make up our nursery community, and we wish a joyful and hopeful New Year to any staff, families and community who are celebrating.
